FOREWORD

Players, players, arid more players — that's what comprises the DAD phenomenon. And phenomenal is what it is,
as the audience for this, the granddaddy of all role-playing games, continues to expand.

DAD players, happily, come in all shapes and sizes, and even a fair number of women are counted among those
who regularly play the game — making DUNGEONS A DRAGONS somewhat special in this regard. This widespread
appeal cuts across many boundaries of interest and background, which means that DAD players are marked by a
wide range of diversity. In fact, one could easily use the analogy that there are as many fypes of DAD players as
there are DAD monsters {after that, draw your own conclusions! ). There are unquestionably fast players, slow
players, clever players, foolish players, cautious players, reckless players, generous players, greedy players, friendly
players, and obnoxious players,..

As diverse as this melange of enthusiasts is, they all seem to share one commonality: a real love for DUNGEONS A
DRAGONS and a devotion that few other games can claim. This remarkable loyalty is a great factor in the game's
explosion of popularity, and DUNGEONS A DRAGONS has become a gaming cult, as avid DADer's have ceaselessly
"spread the gospel", enrolling new players in expanding groups which just seem to grow and grow.

If you're reading this, then you're a DAD player — and this book is for you! This is the second release of the
ADVANCED DUNGEONS A DRAGONS series, and is designed to be a player's book in every respect — giving you all
the background you require on the game system, as well as the information you'll need to go adventuring. Although
this book does not stand alone in terms of supplying all information needed to undertake a campaign, it will
complement the other two parts of the whole (the previously released MONSTER MANUAL and the upcoming
DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE) to provide the entirety of who! will be ADVANCED DUNGEONS A DRAGONS (along
with a greatly expanded version of GODS, DEMI-GODS A HEROES which wilt fol low).

The sheer bulk of this book may seem considerable {and it is, of course), but there are many things not included.
These things (such as the details of the combat tables, for instance) are those parts of the game that rightly fall
outside the realm of player reference, and thus are included instead in the more voluminous DUNGEON MASTERS
GUIDE, As the author points out, this bit of the "unknown" outside of the players' normal reach will make the game
much more interesting and challenging,

ADVANCED DUNGEONS A DRAGONS is o game that is demanding for players and Dungeon Masters alike, but the
rewards in terms of enjoyment are vast, There is nothing quite like a successful DAD campaign, and its success is
based upon the efforts of all participants. The Dungeon Master is pivotal, of course, but the players are just os
important, for they are the primary actors and actresses in the fascinating drama which unfolds before them. For that
reason, their outlook and their conduct will greatly affect the flavor and tempo of the campaign. Accordingly, they
should do their best to further the success of the entire undertaking. This is often no more than a matter of simple
etiquette, and following a few simple guidelines will suffice to make the game experience more fun for everyone
concerned, to wit:

1 } Be an organized player; have the necessary information on your character readily at hand and available to
the Dungeon Master.

2) Cooperate with the Dungeon Master and respect his decisions; if you disagree, present your viewpoint with
deference to his position as game moderator. Be prepared to accept his decision os final and remember that
not everything in the game will always go your way!

3) Cooperate with the other players and respect their right to participate. Encourage new and novice players by
making suggestions and allowing them to make decisions on courses of action rather than dictating their
responses.

4) If you are unable to participate in an adventure, give the other players and the DM some concrete guidelines
if your character is going to be included in the adventuring group; be prepared to accept the consequences,
good or bad, in any case.

5) Get in the spirit of the game, and use your persona to play with a special personality all its own. Interact with
the other player characters and non-player characters to give the game campaign a unique flavor and
"life". Above all, let yourself go, and enjoy!

Enough of the preliminaries — let's get on with the gamel Let's see now, where did I stash awoy all those material
components? . . .

PREFACE

The whole of ADVANCED DUNGEONS £ DRAGONS was a project which involved varying degrees of my thought,
imagination, and actual working time over a period of more than a year and one- ha If. Because of other demands,
the project was perforce set aside for a day or a week or even .onger, making it hard to get back to. Knowing that this
would be the case when I began, the MONSTER MANUAL was selected as the first of the three volumes in the
advanced game to work on — hundreds of different creatures lend ihemselves to segmental treatment. Only after
that book was finished did I begin to put the sheaved reams of notes for the Players and Dungeon Masters books into
order, and that only as the banes — tables, charts and matrices — for rough typing and careful rechecking before a
final manuscript was built around them.

This latter part of the ADVANCED DUNGEONS 1 DRAGONS project I approached with no small amount of
trepidation. After all, the game's major appeal is to those persons with unusually active imagination and superior,
active intellect — a very demanding audience indeed. Furthermore, a great majority of readers master their own
dungeons and are necessarily creative — the most critical audience of oil! Authoring these works means that, in a
way, I have set myself up as final arbiter of fantasy role playing in the minds of the majority of D4D adventurers.
Well, so be it, 1 rationalized. Who better than the individual responsible for it all as creator of the "Fantasy
Supplement" in CHA1NMA1L, the progenitor of DAD; and as the first proponent of fantasy gaming and a principal in
T3R, the company one thinks of when fantasy games are mentioned, the credit and blame rests ultimately here.
Some last authority must be established for a very good reason.

There is a need for a certain amount of uniformity from campaign to campaign in D&D. This is not to say that
conformity or sameness is desirable. Nobody wishes to have stale campaigns where dungeons, monsters, traps,
tricks, and goals are much the same os those encountered in any one of a score of other campaigns. Uniformity
means that classes are relatively the some in abilities and approach to solving the problems with which the
campaign confronts them. Uniformity means that treasure and experience are near a reasonable mean. Uniformity
means thai the campaign is neither o give-away show nor a killer — that rewards are just that, and great risk will
produce commensurate rewards, that intelligent play will give characters a fighting chance of survival.

No individual can actually dictate the actual operations of a campaign, however, for that is the prerogative of the
Dungeon Master, first and foremost, and to the players in the individual campaign thereafter, In like manner, players
greatly influence the events of each particular campaign, and they must accept a large portion of blame if it is a poor
game, and if the campaign is outstanding, they deserve high praise for helping to shape the game and playing welL
So at best I give you parameters here, and the rest is up to the individuals who are the stuff D&D is made of.

Naturally, every attempt has been made to provide all af the truly essential information necessary for the game: the
skeleton and muscle which eoch DM will flesh out to create the unique campaign. You will find no pretentious
dictums herein, no baseless limits arbitrarily placed on female strength or male charisma, no ponderous combat
systems for greater "realism", there isn't a hint of a spell point system whose record keeping would warm the heart
of a monomaniacal statistics lover, or anything else of the sort. You will find material which enables the Dungeon
Master to conduct a campaign which is challenging, where the unexpected is the order of the day, and much of what
takes place has meaning and reason wilhin the framework of the game "world".

It is important to keep in mind that, after all is soid ond done, ADVANCED DUNGEONS ft DRAGONS is a game.
Because it is a game, certain things which seem "unrealistic" or simply unnecessary are integral to the system.
Classes have restrictions in order to give a varied and unique approach to each class when they play, as well as to
provide play balance. Races are given advantages or limits mainly because the whole character of the game would
be drastically altered if it were otherwise. Everything in the ADVANCED DUNGEONS ft DRAGONS system hos
purpose; most of what is found herein is essential to the campaign, and those sections which are not — such as sub-
classes of characters, psionics, and similar material — are clearly labeled as optional for inclusion.

What is here is, hopefully, presented in as logical a sequence os possible, clearly, understandably, and with as few
ambiguities as could be managed, Many readers will want more material. There is a wealth of commercial and fan
material available for fulfilling such needs. Similarly, even the most important material herein can be altered and
bent to suit the needs of individual campaigns, Where possible, true guidelines have been laid down to provide the
barest of frameworks for those areas of the campaign which should be the most unusual and unique. Read the work
(or both works if you are a DM) through and assess for yourself what ADVANCED D&D really is. I am convinced that it
does for the old D&D + supplements what GREY HAWK did for D&D when it first appeared, and then some. I have
put into these works what should be the important parts of a superior D&D campaign, cutting out material which
actually adds little or nothing to the game, revising the old, and adding and expanding in the essential areas.

Special thanks are due to the following persons who contributed to the original game or have been so kmd as to give
their comments, criticism, and contributions to this game: Dave Arneson, Peter Aronson, Brian Blume, Joe Fischer,
Ernie Gygax, Tom Holsinger, Timothy Jones, Tim Kask, Jeff Key, Rob Kuntz, Len Lakofka, Alan Lucion, Steve Marsh,
Mike Mornard, Doug Schwegman, Dennis Sustare, Dave Sutherland, Dave Trampier, Jim Ward, Tom Wham, Skip
Williams, and all of the good players and kindly Dungeon Masters who have taken the time to talk with me at
conventions or drop me a line in order to pass on their experiences, suggestions and ideas. Also thanks to Judges
Guild, whose suggestions have helped with this work, and whose products have helped D&D.

INTRODUCTION

THE GAME

INTRODUCTION

Even if you are not familiar with fanlasy role ploying games in general,
and DUNGEONS A DRAGONS in particular, you will find this work (with its
companion volumes, MONSTER MANUAL and DUNGEON MASTERS
GUIDE) is a complete game system in itself. It will stand alone, and it has
been written and edited in order to make the whole as easily understood
as possible without taking anything away from its complexity and
completeness. If, on the other hand, you area veteran adventurer of many
swords & sorcery campaign games, ADVANCED DUNGEONS ft DRAGONS
will prove to be superior to any past offerings in the fantasy role playing
game field. You will find ii easy to integrate your existing character or
characters into the new system, and at the same time ihe gome will be
both familiar and different, There are nuances not found in previous
efforts. All the necessary information is presented in clear and concise
terms, in a format which logically follows ihe flow of play.

The characters and races from which the players select are carefully
thought out and balanced lo give each a distinct and different approach Jo
the challenges posed by the game. Advantages and disadvantages,
advancement in level, characteristics and abilities ore oil detailed ond
explained so that selection of a player-character type — or the integration
of an exisiing character — can be done with foreknowledge and
projection. In a similar vein, the individuals running the campaign games,
the Dungeon Masters, will have available more data and guidelines upon
which to build more interesting and detailed milieux.

Clerks and fighters have been strengthened in relation to magic-users,
although not overly so. Clerics have more and improved spell capability.
Fighters are more effective in combat and hove other new advantages as
well. Stilt, magic-users ore powerful indeed, and they have many new
spells. None of these over-shadow thieves. All recommended sub-classes
— druids, paladins, rangers, illusionists, and assassins — as well as the
special monk class of character, are included in order lo assure as much
variety of approach as possible. Non-human races — dwarven, elven,
gnome, half-elven, half-orcish, and half ling — are likewise included. Each
offers some advantage and difference, yet has distinct disadvantages, just
as human characters do. But some readers might still be wondering what
fontasy role playi ng games are al I about, so enough about contents and on
to explanations.

ADVANCED DUNGEONS ft DRAGONS is a world. Of course, this world is
not complete. It needs organizers and adventurers to order and explore it.
It needs youl A fantasy role playing gome is an exercise in imagination
ond personal creativity. The organizer of the campaign, the Dungeon
Master, must use ihe system to devise an Individual and unique world, Into
this world of weird monsters, strange peoples, multitudinous states, and
fabulous treasures of precious f terns and powerful magic stride fearless
adventurers — you and your fellow plovers. Inexperienced and of but
small power at first, by dint of hard fighting and clever deeds, these
adventurers advance in ability to become forces to be reckoned with —
high priests or priestesses, lords, wizards and arch-magi, master thieves.
The abilities of each adventurer are fixed, but even such characteristics as
strength, intelligence, and wisdom are mutable in a fantasy world. By
means of group co-operation and individual achievement, an adventurer
can become ever more powerful. Even death loses much of its sting, for
often the character can be resurrected, or reincarnated. And should that
foil ihere is always the option to begin again with a new character. Thus
ADVANCED DUNGEONS ft DRAGONS is, as ore most role playing games,
open-ended. There is no "winner", no final objective, and the campaign
grows and chonges as it matures.

This new syslem provides ihe Dungeon Master with more and better
malerial from which to devise the campaign milieu, ond thai in turn means
a more interesting and imaginative game for the players. A word of advice
is in order here regarding this new system:

Considerable enjoyment and exciremenl In early play stems from noi
knowing exoclly what is going on. Being uncertain of how a given
situation will turn out, noi knowing every magic iiem available, ond so
forth, odds spice to the gome. Later, this knowledge simulates actual
experience, for the seasoned campaigner will hove learned through game
play. Under the circumstances, 11 is strongly urged that players do not
purchase or read the DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE. Leave discovery of the
information therein to actual adventuring, and you will find that the game
is even more funl Some of the details of the campaign milieu — worldly
knowledge common to a typical adventurer — will be given to you by your
Dungeon Master Exploration, travel, and adventure in the "world" will

eventually reveal the secrets heretofore hidden, ond the joy of aciuolly
earning them will be well worth the wait.

Enjoy the gome, and always bear in mind that H is fantasy. Magical worlds
hove o strange way of differing, but while yours may not be quite the
same as the one described here, ii is ripe for adventure and plunder.
Cleverness and imagination, along with a bii of luck, will always prevail
— won't they?

THE ^J^^AAE

Swards & sorcery best describes what Ihis game is all aboul, for those are
the two key fantasy ingredients. ADVANCED DUNGEONS ft DRAGONS is

a fantasy gome of role playing which relies upon the imagination of
participants, for It is certainly make-believe, yet it is so interesting, so
challenging, so mind-unleashing that it comes near reality.

As a role pi oyer, you become Fa I staff the fighter. You know how strong,
intelligent, wise, healthy, dexterous and, relatively speaking, how
commanding a personality you hove. Details as to your appearance, your
body proportions, and your history can be produced by you or the Dungeon
Master. You act out the game as this character, slaying within your "gad-
given abilities", and as maided by your philosophical and moral ethics
(called alignment). You interoct with your fellow role players, not as Jim
and Bob and Mary who work at the office together, but as Falstaff the
fighter, Angore the cleric, and Filmar, the mistress of magic! The Dungeon
Master will act the parts of "everyone else", ond will preseni to you a
variety of new characters to talk with, drink with, gamble with, adventure
with, and often fight withl Each of you will become an artful ihespian as
lime goes by — ond you will acquire gold, magic items, and great renown
os you become Falstaff the Invincible!

This game lets all of your fanlasies come true. This is a world where
monsters, dragons, good and evil high priests, fierce demons, and even
the gods themselves may enter your character's life, En|oy, for this game is
what dreams ore made of II

The game is ideally for three or more adult players: one player must serve
as the Dungeon Master, the shaper of the fantasy milieu, the "world" in
which all action will take ploce. The other participants become
adventurers by creating chorociers to explore the fantastic world and face
all of its challenges — monsters, magic, and unnamed menaces. As is
typical for most of us in real life, each character begins at the bottom of his
or her chosen class (or profession). By successfully meeting ihe challenges
posed, they goin experience and move upwards in power, just as actual
playing experience really increases ploying skill. Imagination,
intelligence, problem solving ability, and memory are all continually
exercised by participants in the game.

Although ihe masculine form of appellation is typically used when listing
the level titles of the various types of characters, these names can eosily
be changed to the feminine if desired. This is fantasy — what's in a name?
In all but a few cases sex makes no difference to ability I

As with mosi other role ploying games, this one is not just a single-
experience contest, If is an ongoing campaign, with each playing session
related to the next by results and participant characters who go from
episode to episode, As players build the experience level of their
characters and go forth seeking ever greater challenges, they must face
stronger monsters and more difficult problems of other sorts (ond here the
Dungeon Master must likewise increase his or her obi Illy and
inventiveness). While initial adventuring usually takes place in an
underworld dungeon setting, play gradually expands to encompass other
such dungeons, lown and city activities, wilderness explorations, and
journeys into other dimensions, planes, times, worlds, and so forth, Players
will add characters to their initial adventurer as the milieu expands so that
each might actually hove several characters, eoch involved In some
separate ond distinct adventure farm, busily engaged In the gome at the
same moment of "Game Time". This allows participation by many players
in games which are substantially different from gome to game as
dungeon, metropolitan, and ouldoor settings are rotated from playing 10
playing. And perhaps a war between players will be going on {with battles
actually fought out on the table top with minaiure figures} one night, while
on the next, characters of these two contending players are helping each
other 10 survive somewhere in a wilderness.

Each individual camooian has its own distinct orooerties and "flavor". A

THE GAME

CREATING THE PLAYER CHARACTER

good Dungeon Mailer will most certainly make each game a surpassing
challenge for his or her players. Treasure and experience gained must be
taken at great risk or by meons of utmost cleverness only. !f the game Is
not challenging, if advancement is too speedy, Ihen H becomes staid and
boring. Conversely, a game can be loo deadly and became fust as baring,
far who enjoys endlessly developing new characters to march off into
oblivion in a single night of dungeon adventuring?!

Sometimes, however, because of close interaction (or whatever other
reason) two or more Dungeon Masters will find that their games are
compoiible to the extent that participants in these individual campaigns
can use ihe characters created in one to adventure in the others. In such
coses the Dungeon Masters have created o very interesting "world"
indeed, for their milieux will offer interesting differences and subtle shifts
which will pose highly challenging problems to these players.

Ultimately, despite the fact that this is a game system created by someone
else, the game's viability rests principally with the referee. The Dungeon
Master must design and map out ihe dungeon, town, city, and world maps.
He or she musi populate the whole world, create its post history, and even
devise some rationale far what transpired (and will probably happen). As
players, you help immeasurably by participating, by letling the referee
know that you appreciate his or her efforts, and by ploying well and in a
sportsmanly foshfon. Good play inspires better creations io challenge thai
play.

Skilled players always make a point of knowing what they are doing, i.e.
they have an objective. They co-operate — particularly at lower levels or
at higher ones when Ihey must face some particularly stiff challenge — In
order to gain their ends. Superior players will not fight everything they
meet, for they realize thai w+1 is as good a weapon as the sword or the
spell. When weakened by wounds, or nearly out of spells and vital
equipment, a clever party will seek to leave the dungeons in order to re-
arm themselves. (He who runs away lives to fight another day,) When
faced with a difficult situation, skilled players will not attempi endless
variations on the same theme; when they find the method of problem
solving fails to work, ihey begin to devise olher possible solutions. Finally,
good players will refrain from pointless argument and needless
harassment of the Dungeon Master when such bog ihe play of the game
down imo useless talking. Mistakes are possible, but they are better
righted through reason and logic, usually at the finish of ptay for the day.

This game is unlike chess in that the rules are not cui and dried. In many
places they are guidelines and suggested methods only, This is part of ihe
attraction of ADVANCED DUNGEONS t DRAGONS and it is integral to the
game. Rules not understood should have appropriate questions directed to
the publisher; disputes with the Dungeon Master are another matter
entirely THE REFEREE IS THE FINAL ARBITER OF ALL AFFAIRS OF HIS OR HER
CAMPAIGN. Participants in a campaign have no recourse to the publisher,
but they do have ultimaie recourse — since the most effective protest is
withdrawal from ihe offending campaign. Each campaign is a specially
tailored affair. While It is drown by ihe referee upon the outlines of the
three books which comprise ADVANCED DUNGEONS t DRAGONS, the
players add the color and details, so ihe campaign must ultimately please
all participants. It is their unique world. You, the reader, as a member of
the campaign community, do not belong if the game seems wrong in any
major aspect. Withdraw and begin your own campaign by creating a
milieu which suits you and Ihe group which you must form to enjoy the
creation. (And perhaps you will find that preparation of your own milieu
creates a bit more sympothy for the efforts of ihe offending referee . . . )

One of the most important items you must have to play the game is a
character record. This con be a specially printed sheet done by TSR and
available In pads, or you con simply use a note pad and design your awn
record sheer for your character if your Dungeon Master is agreeable, for he
or she wil I usually retain at least a copy of al I such records.

As information is developed for your charocter — his or her abi/p>?es, race,
doss, alignment — It must be accurately recorded. All derails of the
capabilities and possessions of the character must be noted. Where
equipment and weapons are carried must be listed. Spelts known and
spells memorized for an adventure have to be kepi track of. A running
total of experience points musi be maintained. All of these subjects ore
discussed herein. Ask your DM how records of your character should be
kept, read the rules and commentary, and record the data you develop
occording io the rules (and your campaign referee's instructions) in a form
suitable ro your DM.

All in all, this is a game for enjoyment. We ore ceriain lhat It will provide
endless hours of entertainment and excitement. That is the sole purpose
for iis creation. So enjoy, and may the dice be good to youl

Each participant in the campaign created by the referee must create one or
more game personas. The game persona of each participant is called the
pfoyer charocter in order to differentiate it from person as created by the
referee, called non-phyer characters. The Dungeon Master is advised to
limit player characters io one per participant ai commencement of the
campaign, though as play progresses, additional player characters may be
added in a judicious manner. Each player develops the abiliries of his or
her charocter through random number generation (by means of dice
rolling) lo determine the basic characteristics of the persona, the obiii'ries.
The player then decides what race the character is, what the character's
class is, the alignment of the character, and what the character's name is
10 be. The character will speak certain languages determined by race,
class, and alignment. He or she will have a ceriain omouni of gold pieces
to begin with, and these funds will be used to purchase equipment needed
for adventuring. Finally, each character begins with a certain number of
hit points, as determined by the roll of ihe die (or dice) commensurate
with the character's class. Class determines the type of die (or dice) rolled.
All characters begin at 1st level All of this is completely explained in the
following paragraphs.

An Explanation of the Usages of fhe Term "level": The term JeveJ has
multiple meanings in this game system. Although substitute terminology
could have been used in ADVANCED DUNGEONS I DRAGONS,
common usage of Ihe term /eve/ to include multiple meanings ts prevalent
omongsi existing players, so the term has been retained herein. The
usages for level are]

1, Lever os an indication of charocter power: A player characier begins
the game at 1st level, i.e. the lowest possible level for o player
character. The higher the level number, the more powerful the

2. Levef os used fo indicate the depth of the dungeon complex beneofh
the ground; The 1st level of a dungeon is the first layer of the
underground complex of tunnels, passages, rooms, chambers, and so
forth. It is the 1st level beneath the ground. EVeneaih ihe 1st level is the
2nd, below that is the 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc. The higher rhe number, the
lower the dungeon level (and the more hazardous iis perils),

3 Level as a measure of magic spell difficulty: The magic spells
avai lable io some classes of characters are graded by difficulty factor
— which, Incidentally, reflects the spells' effectiveness to same
extent. T si level spells are the basic ones available io beginning
characters. They are generally the least powerful spells. Next come
2nd level spells, then came 3rd level spells, and so on. The highest
level of any type of magic spell is 9th level, spells usable only by lBth
level magic-users — lesser magic-users can possibly employ such
spells under certain circumstances which are explained hereafter,
but only al considerable risk,

4. Level as a gauge of a "monsters" potential threat: Relatively weak
crealures, monslers with few hit points, limited or non-existeni
magical abilities, those which do little damage when arracking, and
those which have weak, or totally lack, venom are grouped together
and called 1st level monsters. Slightly more powerful creatures are
ordered inio 2nd level, then comes 3rd, 4th, 5th, and so on all the way
up to 10th level (the highest, which includes the greatest monsters,
demon princes, etc.).

Ir was initially contemplated to term character power as rank, spell
complexity was to be termed power, and monster strength was jo be
termed as order. Thus, insteod of o 9th level character encountering a 7th
level monster on the 8th dungeon level and attacking it with a 4th level
spell, the terminology would have been; A 9th rank character encountered
a 7th order monster on the Bfh (dungeon) level and attacked h with a 4th
power spell. However, because of existing usoge, level is retained
throughout with all four meanings, and it is not as confusing as It may now
seem.

CHARACTER ABILITIES

CHARACTER ABILITIES (STRENGTH)

CHARACTER ABILITIES

STRENGTH TABLE I

Eoch and every character has six principal characteristics, Ihe character's Ability
abilities. These abilities are sfrengrh, /mergence, wisdom, dexterity. Score
constitution, and charisma. (See also APPENDIX I, Psionic Ability.) The 3
range of ihese abilities is between 3 and 18. The premise of the gome is 4
that each player character is above average — at least in same respects — 5
and has superior potenrial. Furthermore, it is usually essential lo the 6
character's survival to be exceptional (with a rating of 15 or above) in no
fewer than two ability characteristics. Each ability score is determined by 7
random number generation. The referee has several methods of how this 8
random number generation should be accomplished suggested to him or 9
her in the DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE. The Dungeon Master will inform 10
you as to which method you may use to determine your character's n
abilities. The principal abilities are detailed as follows: 12

Strength: Strength is a measure of muscle, endurance, and stomina 14
combined. For purposes of relating this ability to some reality, assume that 15
o character with a strength of 3 is able to lift a maximum of 30 pounds
weight above his or her head in a military press, while a character with 18 |6
strength will be able to press 180 pounds in the same manner, Strength is 17
the forte of fighters, for they must be physically powerful in order to wear
armor and wield heavy weapons. Therefore, strenglh is Ihe major ]g
characteristic (or prime requisite) of fighters, and those fighters with 18/01-50
strength of 16 or more gain a bonus of 10% of earned experience
(explained later). Furthermore, fighters with an IB strength are entitled to 18/51-75
roll percentile dice in order to generate a random number between 01 and
00 (100) to determine exceptional strength; exceptional strength increases
hit probability and damage done when attacking, and it also Increases the
weight the character is able to carry without penalty for encumbrance, as
well as increasing the character's ability to force open doors and similar
portals. The tables below give complete information regarding the effects
of strength. Note that only fighters are permitted to roll on the exceptional
strength section of STRENGTH TABLE II: ABILITY ADJUSTMENTS.

•The number in parentheses is the number of chances out of six for the fighter to be able to force open a locked, barred, magically held, or wizard locked
door, hot only one attempt ever (per door) may be made, and if it fails no further attempts can succeed.

Notes Regarding Strength Table lit

Hit Probability adjustments refer to ihe score generated by dice roll In
melee combat* Subtraction from or addition to the number rolled is made
according lo the table as applicable. (A full listing of combat tables
appears in the DUNGEON MASTERS 0UIDE.)

Damage Adjustment likewise applies 10 melee combat. The damage done
by scoring a successful hit on an opponent is adjusted downwards or
upwards as applicable. Thus, if a hit would normally score 1-6 points of
damage upon the opponent, and Ihe character's strength wos only 3, ihe
actual damage done would be reduced by 1 point; but, on the other bond,
if the attacker had strength of 18/00, the actual damage done would be
adjusted upwards by 6 hit points, and possible damage would jump from
1-6 to 7-12.

Weight Allowance is given in number of goW pieces over and above the
maximum normally stated for unencumbered movement. (See
MOVEMENT, ) The conversion ratio of gold pieces to pounds of weight is 1 0
to 1. If a character could normally carry 500 gold pieces without
encumbrance, but the character had strength of \7 Instead of the normal 8-

1 1 range, 1,000 gold pieces could be carried without incurring movement
penally

Open Doors indicates the number of chances out of A which the character
has of opening o stuck or heavy door on rhot fry. Successive attempts moy
be mode at no penalty with regard to damage lo the character attempting
to force the door open, bui each such attempt requires rime and makes
considerable noise.

Bend Bars/Lift Gates stales ihe percentage chance the character has of
bending normal soft iron bars or of lifting a vertically moving gate (such as
a small portcullis barring a passage). The attempt may be made but once,
and If the score required is not made, the characier will never succeed in
the task. Example: A character with 16 strength is trapped in a dead end
passage by o set of iron iaars which drop down from the ceiling when a
stone slab is stepped on and triggers the release of the gate The characier
first attempts to lift the gate, a roll of 01-10 Indicating success, bui the
percentile dice come up 74, so failure is Indicated. The character next
attempts to bend ihe bars in order lo squeeze between them, the
percentage chance of success is the same as for lifting the gate, and this
time a 07 is rolled, so the character si ips out and is free.

CHARACTER ABILITIES (INTELLIGENCE}

CHARACTER ABILITIES (INTELLIGENCE)

Intelligence: Intelligence is quite similar to what is currently known OS
intelligence quotient, but ii also includes mnemonic ability, reasoning,
and learning ability outsjde ihose measured by the written word.
Intelligence dictates the number of languages in which the character is
able to converse." Moreover, intelligence is the forte of magic-users, for
they must be perspicacious in order to correctly understand magic ond
memorize spells. Therefore, intelligence is the mojor characteristic of
magic- users., and those with intelligence of 16 or more gain a bonus of
10% of earned experience. Spells above 4th level cannot be learned by
magic-users with minimal intelligence, ond intelligence similarly dictates
how many spells may be known and what level spells may be known, for
only the highest intelligence is able la comprehend the mighty magics
contained in 9th level spells. The tables below allow ready assimilation of
the effects of intefligence on ail characters — and with regard to magic-
users in particular.

*Non-human characters typically are able to speak more languages than
are human characters, but rnref/igence likewise affects the upper limit of
therr abilities as well and there are racial limitations. (See CHARACTER

INTELLIGENCE TABLE fc| ABILITY FOR MAGIC-USE**

Notes Regarding Intelligence Table II;

Each and every magic-user character must employ the Table in order to
determine which and how many of each group of spells (by level) he or
she can learn. At first, only ihe 1st level group of spells are checked.
Successive level groups are checked only when the character reaches a
level at which the appropriate group of spells is usable by him or her.

Chance ro Know Each listed Spell pertains to the percentage chance the
character has by reason of his or her intelligence to learn any given spell
in the level group. The character may select spells desired in any order he
or she wishes. Each spell may be checked only once. Percentile dice are
rolled, and if the number generated Is equal to or less than the percentage
chance shown, then the character can learn and thus know that spelt (it
may be in his or her spell books — explained hereafter). Example: A
character with an intelligence of 12 desires to know a charm person spell
that he finds In a book or scroll, percentile dice are rolled, but the number
generated is 52, so thai spell is not understood and can not be used by the
character (see, however, the paragraph below regarding the minimum
number of spells knowable).

Minimum Number of Spells/Level states the fewest number of spells by
level group a magic- user can learn. If one complete check through the
entire group fails lo generate Ihe minimum number applicable according
to intelligence score, the character may selectively go bock through the
group, checking each spell not able to be learned once again. This process
continues until the minimum number requirement has been fulfilled. This
means, Ihen, thai certain spells, when located, con be learned — while
certain other spells can never be learned and the dice rolls indicate which
ones are in each category. Example: The magic-user mentioned above
who was unable to learn a charm person spell also fails to meet Ihe
minimum number of spells he or she can learn. The character Ihen begins
again an the list of 1st level spells, opts to see if this time chorm person is
able to be learned, rolls 04, and has acquired the ability to learn the spell.
If and when the character locates such a spell, he or she will be capable of
learning it.

Maximum Number of Spells Level is the obverse of the minimum number
which can be known. According to the character's intelligence, this
maximum number which the magic-user can possibly know (have In his or
her spell books) varies from 6 to an unlimited number. As soon as this
maximum is reached, the character may not check any further in the level
group.

Chonge in intelligence: If intelligence goes down or up for any reason,
and such change is relatively permanent, the magic-user must check again
as explained above for known spells by level group.

Acquis if ion of Heretofore Unknown Spells: Although the magic- user must
immediately cease checking to determine if spells are known after the first
complete check of each spell in the level group, or immediotely thereafter
during successive checks when the minimum number of spells which can
be known is reached, it is possible to acquire knowledge of additional
spells previously unknown as long as this does not violate the maximum
number of spells which can be known. New spells can be gained from
captured or otherwise acquired spell books or from scrolls of magic spells.
In the latter event the scroll is destroyed in learning and knowing the new
spell or spells. (This subject is detailed more fully in the section explaining
magic-users os characters.)

CHARACTER ABILITIES {WISDOM}

CHARACTER ABILITIES {DEXTERITY}

Wisdom: Wisdom is a composite term for the character's enlightenment,
judgement, wile, will power, and (10 o certain extent) intuitiveness. It has
a certain effect on saving ihrows against some magical attack modes It is
of utmost importance to clerics, their ma|or characteristic, and those with
wisdom of 16 or greater add 10% to earned experience. Furthermore,
clerks with exceptional wisdom { 1 6 or greater) also gain bonus spells over
and above the number they are normally able to use. The two tables which
follow detail the information pertaining to the effects of wisdom.

Note* Regarding Wisdom Table II;

Spell Bonus indicates The number of additional spells the cleric is entitled
to according to wisdom ability score. Note thai these spells are only
available when the cleric is entitled to spells of the applicable level. Bonus
spells are cumulative, so a cleric with 14 wisdom is entitled to two 1st level
bonus spells, one with 15 wisdom has two 1st and one 2nd level bonus
spells, etc.

Chance of Spell Failure states the percentage chance of failure clerics with
low wisdom risk when casting spells. To determine if a spell fails,
percentile dice ore rolled, and if the number generated is equal to or less
than !he number shown for failure, the spell is expended and has
absolutely no effect whatsoever.

Dexterity: Dexterity encompasses a number of physical attributes
including hand-eye coordination, agility, reflexes, precision, balance, and
speed of movement, A high dexterity indicates superiority in all of the
above attributes, while a low dexterity might well indicate thai one of
these attributes is actually superior, but that the others ore very poor.
Dexterity affects all characters with regard lo initiative in attack, ihe
projection of missiles from hand or other means, and in defensive
measures. Dexterity is the mojor characteristic of the thief class of
character, and it affects their professional activities (such as picking
pockets, opening locks, and so forth) accordingly. Thieves with a dexterity
ability score of ) 6 or more gain a bonus of \Q% of earned experience. The

character's saving throws against certain forms of attack (such as fire ball,

character's parrying and/or dodging ability in missile or meiee combat; in
this case the penalty subtracts from the armor doss (q.v.) of the character,
making him or her easier to hit, while the bonus adds to the defensive
value of the character's armor class, making him or her harder To hit. For
example, a character with plate mail and shield is normally treated as
armor class 2; if the character has 3 dexterity, there is a + 4 penalty, so the
armor class changes to 6 (2 + 4), However, if the same character has a
dexterity of 1 8, there is a bonus of -4, so armor class changes from 2 to a -2

Constitution; Constitution is a term which encompasses the character's
physique, fitness, health, and resistance. Since constitution affects the
character's hit dice and chances af surviving such greal system shocks as
being changed by magic spell or resurrected from the dead, it is of
considerable importance to all dosses. Constitution scores of above a
ceriain number ore necessary for becoming certain sub-classes of
characters, Effects of constitution are given on the table below.

It is of utmost importance to understand that a character's initial
constitution score is also the maximum number of times the character can
be raised from the dead/resurrected, and that each such revivification
reduces the character's constitution scare by 1. Although a character's
constitution can be restored to its former score, or even raised above this
number, by magi cat means, this in no way alters the initial score
limitation, nor does such magical change in constitution restore to the
character additional chances for revivification. Thus, if a character has an
initial constitution af 15, he or she can never be brought back to life by a
raise dead or resurrection spell more often than 15 times. Note that o rod
of resurrection is considered the same as a spell of the same sort. The 1 6th
death is final and irrevocable without use of some other magical means

Notes Regarding Constitution Table;

Hit Point Adjustment indicates Ihe subtraction from or addition to each hit
die far a character. (Hit dice are explained fully under the appropriate
heading.) Note that subtraction can never reduce ony hit die below 1, i.e.
if a die is rolled and a 1 comes up, or if a 2 is rolled and the penalty due to
constitution is -2. the die is read as 1 (hit point) regardless of subtractions.
Note also that the only class of characters which is entitled to bonuses
above +2 per hit die is fighters (including the fighter sub-classes paladins
and rangers ). Thus, even though a cleric, magic-user, or thief has a
constitution of 17 or 18, the additional hit points for each hit die due to
superior constitution Is +2.

System Shocfe Survival states the percentage chance the choracter has of
surviving the fallowing farms of magical attacks (or simple application of
the magic): aging, petrification (including flesh to stone spell), polymorph
any object t polymorph others. Example: The wicked necromancer
polymorphs (others) his hireling into a giant roc, with the raiher foolish
agreement af the changee; the hireling must make a saving throw based
on his consitution scare using the table above. Assuming he survives, a
furl her saving throw would have lo be made if he wos again palymorphed
or dispelled back to original form. The saving throw must be equal to or
less than the percentage shown.

Resurrection Survival shows the percentage chance the character has of
being successfully raised from the dead or resurrected by a cleric. The
score af the percentile dice must be equal to or less than the number
shown on the table, or the character fails to be revivified and is completely
and totally dead forever. Remember that a ch a racier can never be raised
from the dead/ resurrected a total number of limes in excess of the
character's initial constitution score.

CHARACTER ABILITIES (CHARISMA)

CHARACTER RACES

Charisma: Charisma is the measure of the character's combined physical
attractiveness, persuasiveness, and personal magnetism. A generally non-
beautiful character can have a very high charisma due to strong measures
of Ihe other two aspects of charisma. H is important to all characters, os It
has an effect on dealings with others, principally non-player characters,
mercenary hirelings, prospective retainers, and monsters. It absolutely
dictates the total number of henchmen a character is able to retain, ft

Maximum Number of Henchmen states the number of non-player
characters who will serve as permanent retainers of the player character.
It does not affect the number of mercenary soldiers, men-at-arms,
servitors, ond similar persons in the pay of the character.

Loyalty Base simply shows the subtraction from or addition to the
henchmen's ond other servitors' loyally (q v. ) scores.

Reaction Adjustment indicates the penalty or bonus due to the character
because of charisma in meeting and dealing with persons and creatures
encountered. For example, the character might encounter a basically
neutral intelligent creature and seek to converse In order to gain some
advantage, tf the charisma of the character is low, he or she will be
working under a handicap which will have io be overcome by generous
offers and gifts if o chance of success is hoped for. On the other hand, if
the character's charisma score is high, he or she will begin negotiations
from a strong starting position due to charm and magnetism.

CHARACTER RACES

After a player has determined the obililies of his or her character, it is then
time to decide of what racial stock the character is to be. For purposes of
the game ihe racial stocks are limited to the following] dwarven, efven,
gnome, hoff-efven, hoffting, hoif-orc, and human. Each racial stock has
advantages and disadvantages, although in general human is superior to
the others for reasons you will discover as you read on. The Dungeon
Master may have restrictions as to which races are allowed in the
campaign due to the circumstances of the milieu.

Two Tables for easy reference are given below in order that you can select
the racial stock of your character based on abilities generated ond with an
eye towards what doss (q.v.) of adventurer the character will be. Most
non-human races are able to work in two or more classes at ihe same time,
and some gain ability score bonuses as well, but most are limited as to
how great o level they may attain in a given class, except in the case of o

Character Ability Scores by Racial Typa;

As noted previously in the section pertaining to character abilities, the
non- and part-human races must meet certain minimum ability scores, and
some races have lower maximum passible scores os well. In order for your
character to be of one of these races, these minimums and maximums
must be met. The minimum scores must have been generated in the initial
abilities rolls, or if bonuses are given for ihe race, then the minimums must
be met considering such bonuses. Maximums applicable are easily met,
for the ability score is simply lowered to conform to the maximum.

Note i Regarding Character Race Table III;

Minimum Scores indicate the lowest possible roll for consideration of o
character 1o be of ihe racial type indicated. Scores below rhe minimum
indicated are not allowable, so any chorocter with less than the minimum
shown can not be of the appropriate race.

Maximum Scores include racial penalties and bonuses; thus, some races
con exceed the 18 total possible in the initial generation of abilities with
three sis-sided dice. Penalties and bonuses for roce are taken before
adjusting for maximum score.

The Slosh (/) separates (he minimums and maximums possible for moles,
shown first, and females, shown afier the slosh, thus: males/females,

strength of 8, as does a female of thai race; a male dwarf can have a
maximum strength of 18, but a female dwarf can hove o maximum

CHARACTER RACE DESCRIPTIONS

All of the non-human or part-human races closely resemble humans in
many aspects. It Is assumed thai similarities are sufficiently apparent so as
to warrant no further comment, and only special racial characteristics
which are dissimilar to humans will be dealt with. Characters differ slightly
within their respective races as o whole.

Dwarv«i:

The race of dwarves typicolly dwells in hilly or mountainous regions. For
details of the race In genera! the reader is referred to ADVANCED
DUNGEONS ft DRAGONS, MONSTER MANUAL As player characters, both
dwarves and their cousins Ihe "mountain dwarves" can be considered.

A character of the dwarven race can be a fighter (maximum of 9th level),
a thief, or an assassin (maximum of 9th level). It is also possible for a

see CHARACTER ABILITIES, !

dwarven character ic opt to work simultaneously in the fighter and thief
classes; in the latter event the dwarf will be limited To Ihe armor permitted
a thief when performing any functions of thai class. Experience will always
be divided between the two cfasses also, even though the dwarf may no
longer advance upwards in fighting ability level. (Complete information
regarding this subject is given hereunder in the section dealing with
CHARACTER CLASSES )

Because of thetr very nature, dwarves are non-magical and do not ever
use magical spells, However, this nature gives them a bonus with regard to
their saving throws [see COMBAT. Saving Throws) against attacks by
magic wands, staves, rods and spells, This bonus is 4- 1 for every 3Vj points
of constitution ability. Thus, if a dwarf had a constitution of ? he or she
would gain a +2 on dice roils mode as saving throws, at 14 constitution
the bonus would be +4, and at 18 constitution the bonus would be the
maximum normally possible. + 5.

Similarly, dwarves have exceptional constitutional strength with regard to
toxic substances, ingested or injected. Therefore, all dwarven characters
moke saving throws against poison in [he same manner and with the same
bonuses os they do against magical ottocks from wands, staves, rods, and
spells.

All dwarves are able to speak the following languages (q.v.): dwarven,
gnome, goblin, kobold, and orcish; in addition, dwarven characters are
able to speak the "common tongue" of all humankind. However, except
for their alignment language (see ALIGNMENT), they are unable to learn
more than two additional languages regardless of their intelligence
ability.

Dwarves ore able to see radiation in the infra-red spectrum, so they can
see up to 60' in the dark noting varying degrees of heal radiation, This
ability is known as "infravision".

Dwarves are miners of great skill. They are able to detect the fallowing

Note thai the dworven character must be actively seeking lo determine the

information does not simply spring to mind unbidden.

tn melee combat (see COMBAT), dwarves add 1 to their rike rolls to hit
opponents who ore half-ores, goblins, hobgoblins, or ores. When being
attacked by ogres, trolls, ogre magi, giants, and/or titans, dwarves su biro ct
4 from their opponents' "to hit" dice rolls because of the dworves" small
size and combat abifity against these much bigger creatures.

As has already been noted, dworven characters get a bonus of 1 added To
their initial constitution ability, and a penolty of 1 on Their charisma score
due to racial characteristics. Ir is very important to note the actual charisma
score prior fo racial adjustmenf, however, for dwarven characters do not
suffer charisma penalties, nor are they limited to a 16 charisma maximum
with regard to their own race. For example, let us suppose a player who
has rolled a charismo score of 18 decides to have a dworven character,
thus reducing charisma score by \ due to racial characteristics. However,
the highest score possible for a dwarf is 16 (see CHARACTER ABILITIES,
CHARISMA TABLE}, so the character's charisma scare is recorded as 16
(18), the parenthetical number being the actual score rolled. With regard
to non-dworven henchmen, the character is limited to a maximum of 8,
but with regard to dwarves the character has a score of 18 charisma, sa up
to 15 henchmen would serve the chorocter if the additional servitors (over
and above 8) were themselves dwarves.

There ore many sorts of elves, and descriptions of the differing types are
found in ADVANCED DUNGEONS A DRAGONS, MONSTER MANUAL

Elven player characters are always considered to be high elves, the most
common sort of elf.

A character of elven stock can opt to be a fighter (maximum of 7th level),
a magic-user (maximum of 11th level), o thief, or an assassin (maximum
of 10th level}. An elven character can also be multi-classed, i.e. a
f ighter/magic-user, a fighier/thief, a magic-user/thief, or a
fighter/magic-user/thief . If ihe character is multi-classed, the following
restrictions and strictures apply: Although able to operate freely with the
benefits of armor, weapons, and magical items available to the classes the
character is operating in, any thieving is restricted to the armor and
weaponry usable by the thief class. All earned experience is always
divided equally among the classes of the character, even though the
character is no longer able to gain levels in one or mare of the classes.
(More detailed information is given in the CHARACTER CLASSES section
hereafter.)

Elven characters have a 90% resistance lo s/eep and charm spells (if these
spells are cast upon them a percentile dice roll of 91% or better is required
to allow the magic any chance of having an effect and even then the
saving throw ogoinst spells is allowed versus the charm spell).

When employing either a bow of any sort other thon a crossbow, or a short
or long sword, elven characters gain a bonus of + 1 on their die rolls "to

hit".

All elven characters are able to speak the following languages in addition
to that of their chosen alignment: elvish, gnome, halfling, goblin,
hobgoblin, oreish, gnoll. ond the "common tongue" of mankind, Elven

characters of above 15 intelligence are able to teorn one additional
language for every point of intelligence over 15, i.e. o character with an 18
intelligence score could learn three additional languages (q. v.).

Elves have the obi lily to see into the infra -red spectrum, so they are able to
see up to 60' in darkness, noting varying degrees of heat radiation.

Secret or concealed doors ore difficult to hide from elves. Merely passing
within 10' of the latter makes an eiven chorocter 16 2/3% [1 in 6) likely to
notice it. If actively searching for such doors, elven characters are 33 1/3%
(2 in 6) likely to find a secret door and 50% Likely (3 in 6) to discover a
concealed portal.

As has been shown previously, elven characters add o bonus of + 1 to their
initial dexterity score. Likewise, as elves are not as sturdy as humans, they
deduct 1 from their initial constitution score.

if alone and not in metal armor (or if we/I in advance — 90' or more — of
o party which does not consist entirely of elves and/or halfllngs) an elven
character moves so silently that he or she will surprise (q.v>) monsters 66
2/3% (d6, 1 through 4) of the time unless some portal must be opened in
order to confronl l he monster. In ihe la tier case the chance for surprise
drops to 33 1/3% (d6, 1-2).

Gnomes:

A gnome's preferred habitation is an area of rolling, rocky hills, well-
wooded and uninhabited by humans. Details of the race are found in
ADVANCED DUNGEONS « DRAGONS, MONSTER MANUAL.

A character of the gnome roce can setect to be o fighter (maximum of 6th
level), an illusionist (maximum of 7th level), a thief, or on assossin
(maximum of 8th level). It is also possible for a gnome character to be two
classes at the same time (a fighter/illusionist, a fighter/lhief, or on
Illusionist/thief, for example). In ihe latter case, the character is restricted
to the wearing of leather armor, regardless of which class combination he
or she has chosen, unless only fighting is performed by ihe character. As
with any such multi-class character, gnomes wilh two character classes
must always divide earned experience equally between levels, even
though it might no longer be possible to advance upwards in level in one
of the classes. (See CHARACTER CLASSES for more information regarding
this subject.)

Similar lo their cousins, the dworves, gnomes are highly magic resistant. A
gnome player character gains o bonus of + I for every 3'/ 2 points of
constitution ability score, just as dwarven characters do, A conslilution of 4
gains 0+1,7 gains a +2, 1 1 gains a +3, 14 gains a +4, and 18 gains o
+ 5 bonus to saving throws versus magic wands, staves, rods, and spells.

Gnome characters are able to speak the following languages in addition
to their alignment language (q.v.) ond the "common tongue" of
humanity: dworvish, gnome, holfling, goblin, kobold, and they can also
communicate with any burrowing mammal (such as moles, badgers,
ground squirrels, etc.) Gnomes are unable to learn more than two
guages in addiiion to those noted above, regardless of how high their

MS.

Gnomes have infra vision, the ability to see into the infra-red spectrum, so
a gnome character is able to see up to 60' in the dark, noting varying heat
rod ia t i o n .

Being miners of exceptional merit, gnomes are able to detect the
following facts when within 1 0' of the area to be examined, or at any time
wrth respect to determination of their approximate depth underground:

determine the manor in question. The phenomenon does not otherwise
become apporeni to the character, for he or she musi concentrate on the
subject to get some form of answer.

In melee combat, gnome characters odd 1 to their dice rolls to hit
opponents who are kobolds or goblins. When being attacked by gnolls,
bugbears, ogres, trolls, ogre magi, giants, and/or titans, gnome characters
subtract 4 from their opponents' "to Hit" dice roils because of the gnomes'
small size ond their comboi skill ogoinsi these much bigger creatures.

Half -E Ives !

Half-elves do not form a race unto themselves, but rather they can be
found amongst both elvenkind and men, For details of the typicot half-elf
see ADVANCED DUNGEONS* DRAGONS, MONSTER MANUAL under the
neaping cfr.

A character of half-elven rac & co n play as a cleric [maximum of 5th level),
druld, fighter (maximum of 8ih level), ranger (maximum of Bfh level),
magic-user (maximum of 8th level}, thief, or assassin {maximum of 11th
level). A character of half-elven race can also opt to become a multi-
classed individual i.e. cleric/fighter, cleric/ranger, cleric/mogic-user,
fighter/magic-user, fighter/thief, magic- user/thief, cleric/fighter/magic-
user, or a fighter/ magic-user/ thief. Half-elven characters who choose the
cleric as one of their multi-classes aren't limited by that doss' proscriptions
upon weapons usable, bui rhey ore quite restricied in level, Half-elven
characters who choose the thief class as one of their multi-roles are limited
to the weaponry and armor of that closs when operating as a thief. All
earned experience is always divided evenly between the classes of the
multi-classed character, even though the character is no longer able to
gain levels In one or more of the dosses, (See CHARACTER CLASSES, and
consult rhe various classes for more detailed information pertaining io
half-elven characters operating within ihe stored classes.)

Half-elven characters have a 30% resistance to sieep ond charm spells (if
the spelts are cast upon ihem, a percentile dice roil of 31 H or better is
required to allow the magic any chance of having an effect, and even then
the saving throw against spells is allowed versus the charm spell } .

All half-elven characters are able to speak the "common tongue" of men,
their alignment language Cqv), and the following: elvish, gnome,
halfling, goblin, hobgoblin, orcish, and gnoll. Half-elven characters of
above 16 Intelligence are able to learn one additional language for every
poini of intelligence above 16, so thai a 17 Intelligence indicaies the
character can learn one additional language, and an 18 intelligence
indicates two languages can be learned in addition to those listed above.

Half-elves have the ability to see into the infra-red spectrum, so they are
able io see up to 60' in darkness, noting varying degrees of heat rod ration.

Secret or concealed doors are difficult to hide from holf-etves, just as they
are noticeable by elves. Merely passing within 10' of a concealed door
gives the half-elven charocter a 1 in 6 chance (1 6 2/3%) chance of spotting
it. If ihe character is actively seeking to discover such doors, he or she has
a 2 in 6 chance (33 1/3%) of spotting a secret door and a 3 in 6 chance
(50%) of locating a concealed door.

Ha hf lings:

Halflings are very much like small humons, thus iheir name. As player
characters, it is assumed that any of the sub-races of the race of half lings
con be considered as thai of the half ling character in question. Complete
Informal ion on half lings is found in ADVANCED DUNGEONS f
DRAGONS, MONSTER MANUAL

A character of the halfling race can be a fighter, o thief, or a fighter/thief.
As ha If lings are unable to work beyond 6th level as fighters, it is most
probable that the character will be a ihief or a multi-classed fighter/thief.
In the latter case the character is limited to the armor ond weaponry of a
thief whenever any such functions ore to be performed during the course
of an adventure. Furthermore, earned experience is always divided
evenly between the two classes, even though the character may no longer
be able to gain additional levels as o fighter.

All halfling characters have a high resistance to magic spells, so for every
3'/a points of conslitulion ability the character possesses, he or she gains a
+ 1 on saving throws versus wands, staves, rods, ond spells. This converts

to the following bonuses for constitution: 4-6 = +1,7-10 - +2, 11-13 -
+ 3,14-17= +4, and 16 = +5.

As half lings also have a simitar resistance to poisons of oil sorts, they gain
a constitution bonus identical la that for saving throws versus magical
attocks when they make saving throws versus poison, Le. +1 to +5
depending on constitution score.

All halfling characters are able Io speak the following languages in
addition to mankind's "common tongue" and the alignment language:
dwarven, elven, gnome, goblin, holfllng, and orcish. Halflings with intelli-
gence above 16 can learn one additional language for every point of intel-
ligence they possess above the 16 minimum, so at 17 intelligence ihe
character can learn one additional language, and at 18 Intelligence two
can be learned.

Certain halfling characters have infra vis ion. Those with mixed blood are
assumed to have infravision which functions up to 30' distant, while those
of pure Stoutish blood are able to see heat radiation variation at up to ©0/
{normal infravision)

Similarly, halflings of mixed type ond those of pure Stoutish blood are able
to note if a passage is an up or down grade 75% (d4, 1-3) of the time, and
they can determine direction 50% of the time. Note that these abilities
function only when the charocter is concentrating on the desired
information to ihe exclusion of all olher thought and activity.

if alone {or ,vell in advance — 90' or more — of a party which does not
consist entirely of halflings or elves not in metol armor) and not in metal
armor, halfling characters are abb to move very silently; thus, if they do
not have to open some form of door or other screen, they will surprise
(q,v>) a monster 66 2/3% (d6, 1-4} of the time. If a door must be opened,
chance for surprise drops to 33 1 /3% (d6 ( 1*2).

Halfling characters must accept a penalty of -1 from their initially
generated strength ability score, and they gain a bonus of +1 on dexterity.

of ores and cross-breeds will be found under the heading Ore in
ADVANCED DUNGEONS ft DRAGONS, MONSTER MANUAL

As it is assumed that player characters which are of ha If -ore roce are
within the superior 10%, they have certoln advantages. A half-ore
character can become a cleric (maximum of 4th level), a fighter
[maximum of 10th level), a thief (maximum of 8th level), or an assassin. 1 1
is also possible for o half-ore character to operate in two classes at the
same time: cleric/fighter, cleric/thief, cleric/assassin, fighter/thief, or
fighter /assassin. When playing a multi-classed character, the half -ore
must abide by the restrictions of the least favorable class wilh regard only
to armor. All earned experience is always divided equally between the
player's two classes, even though the character might no longer be able io
progress upwards in level in one of the two classes. (See CHARACTER
CLASSES for mare information regarding this subject.)

Half-ore characters are able to speak the "common tongue" of humanity,
iheir alignment language, and orcish as well These characters are able to
learn a maximum of two additional languages.

Half-ores have infravision, so that they can detect varying degrees of heat
radiation up to 60' distant in the dark.

As has been shown before, half -ore characters have bonuses of +1 to both
their strength ond constitution scores initially rolled, but they must subtract
o charismo penalty of -2. Note that this penalty is in regard io those non-
player character henchmen who ore not themselves of ha If -ore race, so
the initial, unaltered, charisma ability score should be recorded (cf.
Dwurves).

Humans:

Human characters are neither given penalties nor bonuses, as they are
established as the norm upon which these subtractions or additions for
racial stock are based. Human characters are nol limited as to what class of
character they can become, nor do they have any maximum limit — other

In add hi on to the various attributes of the races of characters already
mentioned, there are also certain likes and dislikes which must be

considered in selecting o racial type for your character. The dealings which
a character has with various races will be affected by racial preferences to
some extent. Similarly,, the acquisition of hirelings by racial type might

of cleric who operate much as do other clerics, but they ore less able in
combat and more effective in wilderness situations, fighters generally
seek to engage in hand-to-hand combat, for they have more hit points and
better weaponry in general than do other classes. Paladins are fighters
who are lawful good (see ALIGNMENT). At higher levels they gain limited
clerical powers as well. Rangers are another sub-class of fighter. They are
quite powerful in combat, and at upper levels gain druidic and magic spell
usage of a limited sort. Magic-users cannot expect to do well in hond-lo-
hand combat, but they have a great number of magic spells of offensive,
defensive, and informational nature. They use magic almost exclusively to
solve problems posed by the gome. Illusionists are a sub-class of magic-
user, and they are different primarily because of the kinds of spells ihey
use, Thieves use cunning, mmbleness, and stealth. Assassins, a sub-class of
thief, are quiet killers of evil nature. Monies are aesthetic disciples of
bodily training and combat with bare hands. Each class Is detailed fully En
succeeding paragraphs. It is up to you to select what dass you desire your
character to be. Selection must be modified by abilities generated and
possibly by the race of your character.

The following tables will enable you to determine the major differences
between character classes at a glance. Specific comparisons must be done
in light of the detailed information given in the sections which discuss ihe
individual classes in question. Note that non-human and semi-human race
characters who are multi-classed are typically bound by the limitations of
the thief class onFy. That is, a fighter/magic- user can benefit from both
armor, weaponry and spells; a fighter/thief is limited by the constraints of
the thief class.

Hotel Regarding Character Clan*i Table 1.:

Goss of Character is self-explanatory. Multi-classes have boon omitted,
bur certain facts pertaining to them are given hereafter.

Hit Dice Type shows the type of die to be rolled by o character of the
appropriate closs at each level of experience (q.v.) he or she has gained
so as to determine how many hit points (q.v.) the character has. Multi-
classed characters determine their hit points as follows:

I. Roll the hit die {or dice) appropriate to each closs the character is
processing,

2 Total the sum of all dice so rolled, and adjust for constitution (q,v).

3 + Divide the total by the character's classes (two or three), dropping
fractions under *h r rounding fractions of Va or greater upwards to ihe
next whole number.

4, The number derived (quotient) is the number of hit points the
multi-classed character gains with the rise in that experience level.

Noie that when multi-classed characters are no longer able to progress in
any given class, they no longer gain the hit dice for rhof class, (See
CHARACTER HIT POINTS).

Maximum Number of* Kii Dice assumes that the character has no racial
limitation to prevent rise commensurate with the number of hit dice, Note
that additional hit points are still gained with increase in level, even
though no additional hff dice can be, in those cases where there is no class
(or race) level limit. (See CHARACTER HIT POINTS,)

Spelt Ability simply fndicaies whether or noi the class of character is able
to employ spetls. (For details of spells see CHARACTER SPELLS,)

Class Level Limit tells how high in levels the character con progress in the
closs in question. As shown, most character classes do not have any upper
limit, although racial limitations might affect non-human or semi-human
characters.

CHARACTER CLASSES (CLERIC)

CHARACTER CLASSES (DRUID)

Thm Clerk

As hos been stofed previously in the section detailing CHARACTER
ABILITIES, the principal attribute of a cleric is wisdom, A character musl
have a minimum wisdom ability score of 9(13 Ho multi -classed half-elven
cleric bur 9 if o multi-dossed ha If -ore cleric}. If wisdom ability is greater
rhan 15, the character odds 10% lo experience (q.v,) awarded lo him or
her by the referee, Example: A cleric character gains an award of 975
experience points from the DM after a successful adventure. Because the
character hos o wisdom ability score in excess of 15, he or she ihen adds 98
experience points (975 X JO = 97.5, or 9B E,P.) to the 975, for a total of
1,073 E.P. Of course, a cleric will benefit in other woys by having a high
wisdom score. He or she gains bonus spells from high wisdom, as well as a
belter chance to avoid the effects of certain magical attacks.

High ability scores In strength and constitution are also desirable for a
character of this class, ond good dexterity is likewise of benefit.

This class of character bears a certain resemblance to religious orders of
knighthood of medieval times. The cleric has an eight-sided die (d8) per
level to determine how many hit points (q.v.) he or she has. The cleric is
dedicated to a deity, or dailies, and at the same time a skilled combatant
at arms. The cleric can be of any o/ignmenf {q.v.) save (true) neutral (see
Druid hereafter) alignment, depending upon lhat of the deity the cleric
serves. All clerics have certain holy symbols which aid them and give
power to their spells, All ore likewise forbidden to use edged and/or
pointed weapons which shed blood. All clerics hove their own spelts,
bestowed upon them by their deity for correct ond ditigent prayers ond

A study of the spells usable by clerics (see CHARACTER SPELLS) will con-
vey the main purpose of the cleric That is. the cleric serves to foriify, pro-
tec*, and revitalize, The cleric also has a limited number of attack spells,
some of which are simply the reverse form of curative incantations. Note
that all spells must be spoken or read aloud. In addition, the cleric hos the
ability lo wear armor, carry effective weaponry, and engage in
hand-to-hand (melee) combat with a reasonable chance of success.
Anolher important attribute of the clerk is the ability to turn away (or
actually command into service) the undeod ond less powerful demons and
devi/s.

The undead ore: ghosts, ghosts, ghouls, liches, mummies, shadows,
skeletons, spectres, wights, wraiths, vampires, and zombies. These
creatures, os well as demons and devils, are detailed in ADVANCED
DUNGEONS 1 DRAGONS, MONSTER MANUAL. The matrix showing what
effect clerics of various levels hove upon such creatures is for use by the
Dungeon Master only. As a rule of thumb, a cleric is effective against any
undeod monster whose hit dice ore not greater than those of the cleric.
Only high level clerics have any hope of driving away or influencing
demons or devils.

nally have clencism as their sole class; thus they are

Clerks hove nearly as good a prospect of success in melee combat os
fighters (the best in such situations), They move upwards in combat ability
in steps consisting of rhree ability levels. Similarly, rhey make saving
throws (q.v. ) against magical and poison attacks in like steps.

Clerics can employ a fair number of magic items including most potions;
clerical and "protection" scrolls; most rings; some wands, rods, and
stoves; many other magical items; and all of the non-edged, non-pointed
magical weaponry. As they are able to wear armor, clerics con employ oil
forms of magic armor and magic shields, too.

When a cleric achieves 8th level {Patriarch or Moiriorch) he or she
automatically attracts followers if the cleric establishes o place of worship
— a building of not less than 2,000 square feet in floor area with on altar,
shrine, chapel, etc. These followers are fanaiically loyal and serve without
pay so long as the cleric does not change deities and/or alignment. These
followers number between 20 and 200 (2dl0\ totaled, and multiplied by
10), m addition, there will be followers who are men-of-orms (q.v,), ond
your referee will relay the lypes and numbers at the appropriate lime.

Upon reaching 9th level (High Priest or High Priestess), the cleric hos the
option of constructing a religious stronghold. This fortified place must
contain a large temple, cathedral, or church of not less lhan 2500 square
feel oil the ground floor. It can be o castle, a monastery, an abbey or the
like. It must be dedicated to the cleric's deity (or deities). The cost of

construction will be onty one-half the usual for such a place because of
religious help. If the cleric then clears the surrounding ierriiory and
humans dwell in this area, there will be a monlhly revenue of 9 silver
pieces per inhabitant from trade, taxation, and tithes.

Ths Druid

The druid is a sub-class of clerics. They ore the only absolute neutrals (see
ALIGNMENT), viewing good and evil, tow ond chaos, as balancing forces
of nature which ore necessary for the continuation of all things. As priests
of nature, they must have o minimum wisdom of 12 and a charisma of 15;
Soih of these major attributes must exceed 15 if a druid is to gain a 10%
bonus io earned experience.

It will be noted In

CHARACTER CLASSES (DRUID)

CHARACTER CLASSES (DRUID*

Nonetheless, druids servo ro strengthen, protect ond revitalize as the
usual cleric does. The more powerful druidic spelts, as well as their wider
range of weaponry, moke up for the fact that druids are unable to use any
armor or shields other than leather armor and wooden shields (metallic
armor spoils their magical powers). They must speak or read spells aloud.
Due to their involvemeni with living, growing things, druids have no
power to turn or control undead, demons, or devils.

Druids can be visualized as medieval cousins of what the ancient Celtic
seel of Druids would have become had it survived the Roman conquest.
They hold trees (particularly oak and ash), the sun, and the moon as
deities. Mistletoe is the holy symbol of druids, and it gives power to their
spells. They have an obligation to protect trees and wild plants, crops, and
to a lesser extent, their human followers and animals. Thus, druids will
never destroy woodlands or crops no matter what the circumstances. Even
though a woods, for example, were evilly hostile, druids would not destroy
it, although nothing would prevent them from changing the nature of the
place if the desire and wherewithal existed, in similar fashion, they avoid
sloying wild animals or even domestic ones except as necessary for self-
preservation and sustenance.

If druids observe any creature destroying their charges, the druids are
unlikely to risk their lives to prevent the destruction, Rather, if is probable
that Ihe druids will seek retribution and revenge at a later date as
opportunity presents itself.

In connection with their nature worship, druids have certain innate powers
which are gained at higher level Al 3rd level (Initiate of the Ut Circle), a
druid gains the following abilities:

1, Identification of plant type

2. Identification of animal type

3. Identification of pure water

4, Power to pass through overgrown areas (undergrowth of
tangled thorns, briar patches, etc) without leaving a
discernible trail and at normal movement rate (q.v.)

At 7th level {Initiate of the 5th Circle), the following additional powers ore
gained:

L Immunity from chorm spells cost by any creature basically
associated with the woodlands, i.e. dryads, nixies, sylphs, etc.

2. Ability to change form up to three limes per day, actually
becoming, in all respects save the mind, a reptile, bird or

A. Each type of creature form can be assumed but once
per day.

6, The size of creature form assumed can vary from as
smatl as a bullfrog, blue jay, or bat to as large as a large
snake, an eagle, or a black bear (about double the
weight of the druid),

C. Each assumption of a new form removes from KWa to
60% (d6, multiply by 10) of the hit points of damage, if
any, the druid has sustained prior to changing form.

Druids have their own secret language, and all speak it in addition to their
other tongues (alignment, common, and others known). Upon becoming a
3rd level druid (Initiate of the 1st Circle), and with each level increase
thereafter, a druid gains a language of his choice; centaur, dryad, elvish,
faun, gnome, green dragon, hill giant, lizardman, monticore, nixie, pixie,
sprile, freantish.

In melee combat, druids fight as clerics, but they do suffer somewhat from
their inability to wear protective armor of metal They likewise make
sawng throws (q.v.) as clerics, but against fire and tighming (electrical)
attacks they gel a bonus of + 2 on their dice rolls.

Druids can use those magic items not otherwise proscribed which are for
all classes and those for regular clerics which are not written, i.e. books
and scrolls.

At the upper levels there are only a limited number of characters. At 12th
level (Druid) there can be but nine of these nature priests. Each such 12th

level druid is the leader of a body of lesser druids and will have an
entourage of three of their underlings, i.e. the lowest (in experience)
Druid (12th level) will have three Aspirants (1st level) to serve him or her,
while the highest {in experience) will have three initiates of the 7th Circle
(9th level). Initiates of the 8th and 9th Circle* ore under direct supervision
of the three Archdruids and The Great Druid respectively.

Above all other druids is a lone figure. The Greal Druid. The supreme druid
is always attended by nine initiates of the 9th Circle.

(Note: It is possible that other henchmen and hirelings, as well as
worshippers, will be found with any particular druid. All servitors of upper-
level druids ore faithful protectors, They are not otherwise considered
henchmen (q.v.) perse. )

At such time os a druid class player character attains experience points
suffkieni lo advance him or her to Druid (12th level), the corresponding
powers ore gained only;

1 If there are currently fewer than nine other characters of Druid
level, or

2. The player character bests one of the nine Druid level
characters in spell or hand-to-hand combat. If the combat is
no* mortal, the losing combatant drops Ihe exact number of
experience points necessary to place him or her in the
beginning of the next lower level.

If the player character succeeds, he or she becomes a Druid, with full
powers, and the former Druid (assuming case 2, above) becomes an
Initiate of the 9th Circle. If the player character loses, he or she remains at
lower level and actually has fewer experience points in the bargain.

This process is repealed with respect to a Druid becoming an Archdruid
and for an Archdruid becoming ihe Great Druid. Multiple attempts to move
upwards are possible os long as the character survives.

Druids os o class do not dwell permanently in castles, or even in citfes or
towns. All druids prefer To live in sacred groves, dwelling in sod, log, or
stone buildings of smallish size. When attaining levels above The 1 1th,
characters wilt generally inhabit building complexes set In woodlands and
similar natural surroundings.

Th.R 9 ht#f

The principal attribute of o fighter ts strength. To become o fighter, a
character must hove a minimum strength of 9 and a constitution of 7 or
greater. A good dexterity rating is also highly desirable. If a fighter has
strength above 15, he or she adds T0% to experience points awarded by
the Dungeon Master. Also, high strengih gives the fighter a better chance
To hii an opponent and causes on increased amount of damage.

Fighters hove o ten -sided die (dlO) for determination of their hit points per
level, No other class of character (save the paladin and ranger (qq.v,) sub-
classes of fighters) is so strong in this regard. Fighters are the strongest of
characters in regards to sheer physical strength, and they are the best at
hand-to-hand combat. Any sort of armor or weapon is usable by fighters.
Fighters may be of any alignment — good or evil, lawful or chaotic, or
neutral*

Although fighters do not hove magic spells to use, their ormor and
weapons can compensate. They have ihe most advantageous combat
table and generally have good saving throw (q.v.) possibilities as well

Fighters can employ many magical items, including potions; "protection"
scrolls; many rings; a few wands; one rod; many other magic items; and
alt forms of armor, shields and weapons.

When a fighter attains 9th level (Lord), he or she may opt to establish a
freeho/d. This is done by building some type of castle and clearing the
area in a radius of 20 to 50 miles around the stronghold, making it free
from all sorts of hosiile creatures. Whenever such a freehold is established
and cleared, the fighter will:

1 . Automatically attract a body of men-at-arms led by an above-
average fighter. These men will serve as mercenaries so long
as the fighter maintains his or her freehold and pays the men-
at-arms; and

2. Colled a monthly revenue of 7 silver pieces for each and
every inhabitant of the freehold due to trade, tariffs, and
taxes.

The Paladin

A paladin character is a fighter sub-class, but unlike normal fighters, all
paladins must begin as lawful good in alignment (q.v.) and always remain
lawful good or absolutely lose all of the special powers which are given to
them. They have both fighting abilities and limited spell powers (at high
level). To become a paladin a character must be human, have o strength
of not less lhan 12, a minimum intelligence of 9, o wisdom of 13 or more, o
minimum constitution of 9, and not less than 17 charisma, tf a paladin has

both srrengfh and wisdom in excess of 15, he or she gains the benefit of
adding 10% to the experience points awarded by the Dungeon Master.

Law and good deeds ore the meal and drink of paladins. If they ever
knowingly perform an act which is chaotic in nature, they must seek a high
level (7th or above) cleric of lawful good alignment, confess their sin, and
do penance as prescribed by the clerk. If a paladin should ever knowingly
and willingly perform an evil act, he or she loses ihe status of paladinhood
immediately and irrevocably. AH benefits are then lost, and no deed or
magic can restore the character to paladinhood; he or she is everafter a
fighter

The benefits of a paladin ore:

1. Detect evil at up to 60' distance, as often as desired, but only
when the paladin is concentrating on determining the
presence of evil and seeking to detect it in the right general

direction.

2. AAake all saving throws (q.v.) at +2 on the dice.

3. Immunity to all forms of disease.

4. The ability to "lay on hands", either on others, or on his or her
own person, to cure wounds; this heals 2 hit points of damage
per level of experience the palodin has attained, but laying on
hands can be performed but once per day.

5. The ability to cure disease of any sort; this con be done once
per week for each five levels of experience the paladin has
attained, i.e. at levels t through 5 one disease per week, at
levels 6 ihrough 10 two diseases, at levels 11 through 15 three
diseases, etc.

6. The continuing emanation of a protection from evil (see
CHARACTER SPELLS) in a 1" radius round the paladin,

Furthermore:

7. At 3rd level, ihe paladin gains the power ro affect undeod and
devils and demons as if he or she were a 1st level cleric, and
this power goes upwards with each level of experience the
palodin gains, so at 4th level the effect is that of a 2nd [eve I
cleric, at 5lh il is thai of a 3rd level cleric, etc. (See The C/er/c
above.)

8. At 4th level — or at any time thereafter — the paladin may
call for his warhorse; this creature is an intelligent heavy
war horse, with 5 +5 hit dice (5d8 plus 5 hit points), AC 5, and
the speed of a medium warhorse (18"); it will magically
appear, bui only one such animal is available every ten years,
so that if the first is lost the paladin must wait until the end of
the period for another

9. If a paladin hos o "Holy Sword" (a special Mogic Sword which
your referee Is aware of and will explain lo yau if the need
arises), he or she projects a circle of power 1" in diameter
when the Holy Sword is unsheathed and held; and this power
dispels magic (see CHARACTER SPELLS, drspef magic } at the
level of magic use equal to the experience level of the
paladin.

10. At 9th level (ihrough 20th level) of experience, paladins gain
the ability to employ cleric spe^s (q.v ). They may never use
scrolls of spells, however, except those normally usable by
fighters.

The following striciures opply lo paladins:

1. They may never retain more than ten magic items; these may
never exceed:

armor, 1 (suit)

shield, 1

weapons*, A

any other magic items, 4

*these include daggers, swords, etc.; and such items as magic
bows and magic arrows ore considered os but 1 weapon

CHARACTER CLASSES {RANGER}

2. They will never retain wealth, keeping only sufficient
treasures to support themselves in o modest manner, pay
henchmen, men-at-arms, and servitors, and to construct or
maintain o imall castle. (Your DM will give deiaits of this as
necessary.) Excess is given away, as is the tithe (see 3. below).

3. An immediate tithe (10%) of all income — be it treasure,
wages, or whatever — must be given to whatever charitable
religious msfitutron (nor a clerical player character) of lawful
good alignment the paladin selects.

4. Paladins will have henchmen of lawful good alignment and
none other; they will associate only with characters and
creatures of good alignment; paladins can join a company of
adventurers which contains non-evil neutrals only on a single-
expedition basis, and only if some end which will further the
cause of lawful good is purposed

5. If possible, poladins will toke service or form an alliance with
lawful good characters, whether players or not, who are
clerics or fighters (of noble status)*

Paladins do not attract a body of men-at-arms to service as do regular
ffghten.

formidable opponents, for they hgve other abilities and benefits as well:

When fighting hu monoid- type crealures of the "giant class",
listed hereafter, rangers add ) hit paint far each level of
experience they have attained to the points of damage scored
when they hit in melee combat. Giant class creatures are:
bugbeors, ettins, giants, gnolls, goblins, hobgoblins, kobolds,
ogres, ogre magi, ores, and trolls. Example: a 5th level ranger
hits a bugbeor in melee combat, and the damage done to the
opponent will be according to the ranger's weapon rype,
modified by strength, and +5 (for his or her experience level)
because the opponent is a bugbear — a "giant class"
humanoid.

Rangers surprise (q.v.) opponents 50% of the time (do. score
1 through 3} and are themselves surprised only of the

time (d6 f score 1).

Tracking is possible both outdoors and underground in
dungeons and like settings:

a. Underground the ranger must have observed the
creature to be tracked within 3 turns (30 minutes) of the
commencement of tracking, and the ranger must begin
tracking at o place where the creature was observed:

I J Willi ;j

Creature's Acfion Chance to Track

going along normal passage or room 65%

passes through normal door or uses stairs 55%

goes through a I rap door 45%
goes up or down a chimney or through

concealed door 35%

posses through a secret door 25%

b. Outdoors there is □ base 90% chance of a ranger being
able to follow a creature, modified as follows:

— for each creature above 1 in the parly

being tracked +02%
— for every 74 hours which have elapsed

be twee n making the rrock o nd track ing - 1 0%

— for each hour of precipitation -25%

At 8th level, rangers gain limited druidic spell ability, and
additional spells are added through 17th level.

At 9th level rangers gain limited magic-user spell ability, as

user spells from magic scrolls in ony event.

At 10th level {Ranger Lord), rangers are able to employ all
non-written magic items which pertain to dairaudience,
clairvoyance, ESP r and telepathy.

Also at 10th level, each ranger attracts a body of 2-24
followers. Note that these henchmen once lost, can never be
replaced, although mercenaries can be hired, of course. These
followers are determined by the DM who then informs the
ranger.

Rangers are a sub-class of fighter who are odept ai woodcraft, tracking,
scouting, and infiltration and spying. All rangers must be of good
alignment (q.v.), although they can be lawful, chaotic, or neutral
otherwise. A ranger must have strength of not less than 13, intelligence of
not less thon 13, wisdom of not less than 14, and a 14 or greater
constitution. If the ranger has ability scores of greater than 15 in strength,
intelligence and wisdom, he or she gains the benefit of adding 10% to
experience points awarded by the referee.

The following restrictions and strictures apply to rangers:

1. Any change to non-good alignment immediately strips the
ranger of all benefits, and the character becomes a fighter,
with eight-sided hit dice, everafter, and can never regain
ranger status.

2. Rangers may not hire men-at-arms, servants, aides, or
henchmen until they attain 8th or higher level.

3. No more than three rangers may ever operate together at any
time

A. Rangers may own only those goods and treasure which they
can carry on their person and/or place upon their mount; all
excess must be donated to a wonhy communal or institutional
cause (but never to another player choracier), (cf. Paladin

Although rangers do not attract a body of mercenaries la serve ihem
when, and if, rongers construct strongholds, they conform to the fighter
class in other respects.

Note: This excludes melee combal wilh monsters (q,v.) of less man one

semi-humans, i.e. all creatures with less than one eight-sided hit
die. AM of these creatures entitle a fighter to attack once for each
of his or her experience levels (See COMBAT).

Magic- users draw upon arcane powers in order to exercise their
profession. While ihey have mighty spells of offensive, defensive, and
informational nature, magic-users are very weak in combat. They have but
four-sided dice (d4) to determine how many hit paints of damage they can
withstand, and magic-users have the least favorable table and progression
os regards missile and melee combat. Furthermore, they can wear no
armor and have few weapons they can use, for martial training is so
foreign lo magic-use as lo make the two almosj mutually exclusive. Magic-
users can be of any a/rgnmenf (explained hereafter).

When a magic-user begins his or her profession, the character is usually
assumed to possess a strange lome in which he or she has scribed the
formulae for some of the spells known to the character. This speff boo k,
and each book later added [as ihe magic-user advances in levels of
ability , o book of spells for each higher level of spells which became
usable will hove to hove been prepared through study and research}, must
be maintained by the mcgic-user, He or she must memorize and prepare
For the use of each spell, and its casting makes ii necessary to reabsorb ihe
incantation by consul ling ihe proper book of spells before it can again be
cast. (See CHARACTER SPELLS for more details ) As with all other types of
spells, those of magic-users must be spoken or read aloud.

There ore many powerful items of magic which only this class of character
con employ. Most magic scrolls, wands, staves, and many of the
miscellaneous items of magic ore usable only by this class. Thus, while
magic- users ore not strong in combot with weapons, they are possibly the
most fearsome of all character classes when high levels of ability are
finally attained. Survival to thai point can be a problem, however, as low-
level magic-users are quite weak.

When a magic-user aitains 1 1 rh level (Wizard) or higher, he or she may
enchant items or scribe mogic scrolls, This process requires the undivided
atlention of the magic-user for quite long periods of lime — weeks to
months — and it is also costly. As the Dungeon Master is carefully
insiructed to keep exact record of game lime speni in such activity, the
magic-user will effectively remove himself or herself from a number of
adventures while enchanting items or inscribing scrolls of magic spells. As
mis relative Inactivity means thai ihe choracier will not get experience
points and treasure (monetary or magical) gained from adventures which
take ploce during the inaclive period, it is not usual for a Wizard to
manufacture many items or scrolls. However, as occasional enchantment
of items or penning of magic scrolls will take place, your referee hos
complete information on the process, including probabilities, time
required, materials needed, and costs.

It is passible for a mogk-user of 12 th or higher level to construct a
stronghold and clear ihe countryside in a 10 or 20 mile radius of all
monsiers, thus ruling an area much as a noble, ff this is accomplished, a
revenue of 5 silver pieces per inhabitant per monlh is generated in ihe
terriiory ruled.

TABLE I.

The Illusionist

6 6 6 6

Illusionists form a sub-class of magic-users, and in most respects they
conform to the characteristics of the Jaiter. To be an Illusionist, a character
must have a minimum intelligence of 15 and a minimum dexterity of 16 (a
high manual dexterity is required in casting of the spells used by this
class). An important difference between illusionists and magic-users is
that the farmer do not gain any experience bonus for having high scores m
their required abilities of intelligence and dexterity.

While being equal, or even slightly inferior, to normal magic-users in most
respects, illusionists have different and highly effective spells to employ. A
perusal of the number and types of spells usable by Illusionists [see
CHARACTER SPELLS) will reveal that they are at least as powerful as
normal magic-users and possibly slightly more potent at very high levels.
The power of illusionists due to their spells is offset, however, by the
limitations placed upon the magic items ihey can use. The magical items
usable by illusionist class characters are enumerated below:

— all potions not restricted to fighters only

— illusionist scrolls and magic-user scrolls which contain spells
usable by illusionists

— all rings

— fod of cancellation, staff of striking, and wands of enemy

The Thief

The profession of thief is not dishonorable, albeit is neither honorable nor
highly respected in some quarters. The major obl% for a thief is dexterity,
and a character musi hove not less than a 9 to become a thief High
intelligence is also desirable. Any thief character with a dexterity greater

CHARACTER CLASSES (THIEF)

than 15 gains the benefit of being able 10 odd a bonus of 10% to
experience points awarded to him or her by Ihe referee. A glance at the
CHARACTER ABILITY section preceding this will reveal that high dexterity
also benefits thieves in the performance of their class functions. These
functions are detailed a bit later.

All thieves are neutral or evil, although they can be neutral good ( rarely},
and of lawful or chaotic nature. Most thieves tend lowards evil.

Thieves are principally meant to take by cunning and stealth. Thieves hove
six-sided hit dice (do). They are ( however, able to wear light ( leather)
armor and use a fair number of weapons, Although they fight only slightly
more effectively than do magic-users, they are able to use stealth in
combat most effect* vely by back stabbing. This abiliiy is explained

The primary functions of a thief ore: 1 ) picking pockets, 2) opening locks,
3} ffnding/removmg rrops, 4) moving sttemly, and 5) hiding in shadows.
These functions are basically self-explanatory. The chance for success of
any performance is based on the ability level of the thief performing it,
This is modified with respect to picking pockets by ihe experience level of
his or her victim and by the powers of the observer with respect to hiding
in shadows.

These functions are detailed as follows:

1- Picking packets (or folds of a garment or a girdle) also
includes such activities as pilfering and filching small items, It
is done by light touch and sleight of hand.

2. Opening locks includes figuring out haw to open sliding
puzzle locks and foiling magical closures. It is done by picking
with tools and by cleverness, plus knowledge and study of

such items,

3. Finding/removing traps pertains to relatively small
mechanical devices such as poisoned needles, spring blades,
and the like. Finding is accomplished by inspection, and they
are nullified by mechanical removal or by being rendered
harmless.

4. Moving silently is the obHlty to move with little sound and
disturbance, even across a squeaky wooden floor, for
instance. It is an ability which improves with experience,

5. Hiding in shadows ft the ability to blend into dark areas, to
flaiten oneself, and by remaining motionless when In sight, to
remain unobserved. It is o function of dress and practice.

Secondary functions of a thief are: 1) listening at doors to detect sounds
behind ihem, 2) ascending and descending vertical surfaces such as walls,
and 3) back stabbing those who happen upon the thief in the performance
of his or her profession.

These functions are described as follows:

1 . Listening at doors include* like activity at other portals such as
windows. It is accomplished by moving silently to the door and
pressing an ear against it to detect sound.

2. Ascending and descending vertical surfaces is the ability of
the Thief to climb up and down walls. It assumes that the
surface is coarse and offers tedges and cracks for ioe and hand
holds.

3. Back stabbing is the striking of o blow from behind, be it with
club, dagger, or sword. The damage done per hit is iwice
normal for the weapon used per four experience levels of ihe
thief, i.e. double damage ot levels 1^4, triple at 5-8, quadruple
at levels 9-12, and quintuple at levels 13-16. Note thai striking
by surprise from behind also increases ihe hit probability by
20% { + 4 on the thief s "to hif die roil J,

Additional abilities which accrue to thieves are:

1 . All thi eves, regardless of alignment, ha ve the i r o wn la ng uage ,
the "Thieves' Cant". This language is known in oddlfion to
others which may be learned because of race and/or

2. Ai 4th level (Burglar}, thieves are able to read 20% of
languages, and this ability Increases by 5% with each
additional level of experience until an 80% probability is
attained. This enables the possible reading of instructions and
treasure maps without having to resort to a magic Item or
spell

3. At 10th Level (Master Thief), thieves ore able to decipher
magical writings and utilize scrolls of all sorts, excluding those
of clerical, but not druidlc, nature. However, the fact that
thieves do not fully comprehend magic means that there is a
25% chance that writings will be misunderstood. Furthermore,
magic spells from scrolls can be mispronounced when uttered,
so that there is an increasing chance per level of the spell that
it will be the reverse of its intent

These primary, secondary, and tertiary functions are displayed on a table
hereafter.

Thieves cannot build strongholds as some other classes of characters do
They can, however, buifd a tower or fortified building of the small castle
type (q,v.) for their own safety; but this construction must be within, or not
more than o mile distant from, a town or city.

Any thief character of 10th or greater level may use his small castle type
building to set up a headquarters for a gang of thieves, and he or she will
accordingly attract from 4-24 other thieves. However, this will bring the
enmity of the local Thieves Guild, and they will struggle to do away with
Ihe rival organization. Once begun, warfare will end only when and if ail
the Master Thieves on either or both sides ore dead, or if the thief
character removes to another I oca le.

Not#i Regarding Thf«f Function ToWe:

Percentf/e die© ore rolled to determine whether the thief is successful or
nor Any score equal to or less than ihe percentage shown for the
appropriate level of thief performing the designated function will indicate
success.

Picking Pockets fails if a score above ihe percentage shown for the level of
thief attempting the function is generated. If the score is 21% or more
above the number shown, the victim notices the thief's attempt. The
potential victim reduces the thief's chances for success by 5% for every
level of experience he or she is above the 3rd, I.*. -5% at 4th level, etc. For
example, a high level thief (Master Thief, 12ih level) is planning to pick
the packers of a magic- user he has noticed nearby, The base chance far
success is 100% r the thief is a half-elf and adds 10% for racial ability; the
thief also has 1 6 dexterity ability scare, so another 10% is added. This totals
a nice, safe 120% — can't fail! However, ihe victim happens to be 12th
level also, so the subtraction is 9 X -5% - -45%. This brings the chance for
success down to 75%. A good chance, but if 96% or higher is rolled, the
thief will be noticed, and . . . Success gains an item from the victim; the
irem is determined at random from a list of possessions unless the exacl
location of a particular item is known by the thief.

Openmg Locks may be attempted by any given thief but once per lock. If
ihe score generated exceeds the adjusted (for ability and race} base
score, the thief has failed; and no amount of trying will ever enable him or
her to succeed with that lock, although the thief may iry again when he or
she has risen to a higher level of experience. Success opens the lock,

Finding/Removing Traps is accomplished in exactly the same manner as
opening locks. Roll for each funciion separately (a trap must be located
before removal can be attempied). One try only per ihief is allowed.
Success deactivates the trap.

Moving Silently can be attempted each lime the thief moves. It con be
used to approach an area where some creature is expected, thus
increasing chances for surprise (q.v ( ), or to approach to back stab, or
simply done to pass some guard or watchman. Failure (a dice scafe in
excess of the adjusted base chance) means that movement was not si tent
(see SURPRISE) Success means movement was silent,

Hidmg in Shadows cannot be accomplished under direct observation- It
con be accomplished with respect to creaiures with fafrwfcfofl (q.v,) only
if some heal producing light source is near io the creature or to the thief

attempting to so hide. Success makes the thief virtually invisible until he or
she moves. Note that spells such as defect invisibility or true seeing will
reveal a thief hiding in shadows if such sight is directed towards him or
her.

Hearing Noise is simply listening intently. The thief and his or her
accomplices must themselves be quiel (but not silent as in moving). This
function can be repeated as often as desired. It requires a full minute to
listen, i.e. one-tenth of o normal turn, or time equal to a metee round.
Note thot sleeping creatures, undeod, and mony other creatures do not
make sounds discernible through a portal. Success informs ihe Hearer that
someone or something awaits beyond ihe portal.

Climbing Walls is attempted whenever needed and desired. It is assumed
that the ihief is successful until Ihe mid point of the climb. At thai paint the
dice are rolled to determine continued success. A score in excess of the
adjusted base chance indicates Ihe thief has slipped ond fallen, (Your
referee will inform you of what amount of domage has been done from
the foil.) Success indicates that safe ascent or descent has been
accomplished. Note thot in some cases a third d10 will have to be rolled to
determine the success or failure.

fieoding languages con be attempted but once. Failure — a score greater
than ihe percentage chance shown for the experience level of the thief —
means that ihe language is not understood and no amount of reading will
make it comprehensible. However, the thief can iry again with each new
experience level he or she gains.

The A net* in

Assassins are a sub-class of the thieves, ond they hove the functions of the
latter as well as their own. Thus, to be on assassin, a character must hove o
minimum strength of 13, an intelligence of M of more, and a dexferify
score of nai less than 1 2. Assassins do not gain any experience bonuses for
having high ability scores

Jusi as do thieves, ossossins have six-sided dice (do) for determining ihe
number of hit pomfs (q.v,} they can sustain. Assassins ore evil in alignment
(perforce, as the killing of humans and other intelligent life forms for the
purpose of profit is basically held io be the antithesis of weal). They can, of
course, be neutral as regards lawful ond chaotic evil. As mentioned above,
assassins have thieving capabilities and their own ability functions.
Because they can use any sort of shield and weapon, they are generally
superior to thieves in combat.

CHARACTER CLASSES (ASSASSW)

CHARACTER CLASSES (ASSASSIN)

An assossin choracter need not be a member of the Assassins Guild of the
town or city he or she dwells in, by! ail non-ptoyer assassin characters are
members of such guilds. There is one such guitd in most towns and cities,
and each control an area of from 10 to 100 miles radius around rhe
headquarters town or city. Any assassin discovered in o guild area who is
not a member of ihe local Assassins Guild will be invited To |oin r thus
coming under the authority and command of the Guildmaster Assassin,
The assassin character need not join, but he or she will be under sentence
of death if ihe character performs an assassination while not a guild
member. Further discussion of Assassins' Guilds Is given later.

The primary funciion of assossins <s killing They may use poison —
ingested or insinuated by weapon. Poison ingested must be put into the
food or drink, and the character performing this action must detail exactly
when, where, and how the poisoning will be done. The DM will then
adjudicate the action. Poisoned weapons (see POISON) used run the risk
of being noticed by others. All non-assassins within 10' of the bared
weapon have a 10% cumulative chance each per melee round (q,v,) of
noting the poison and attacking the poison-using assassin and/or colling
for the city watch. (There is a 20% chance for attacking ihe assassin, a 50%
chance for colling for rhe watch, and a 30% chance for shouting for the
watch and then attacking the assassin.)

Example: An assassin draws a dagger with a poisoned blade. The first
melee round it con be seen by two persons. The percentile dice are rolled
for each, but unless 10 or tess is rolled, they do not noiice the venom. The
next melee round the two first seeing the weapon have a 20% chance of
noticing rhe poison, ond any others seeing if for the first time have but a
10% chance. If any onlooker does see the poison, percentile dice are
rolled: o score of 01 to 20 indicates attack, 21 to 70 indicates a hue and cry

Assassins attack on the same combat tables as thieves do, including bock
stabbing. However, if they surprise (q.v,) a victim, they may attack on the
ASSASSINATION TABIL This gives o roughly 50% chance of immediately
killing rhe vlciim; and if this foils, normal damage according to weapon
type and strengih ability modifiers still accrues to the victim. Thus, if a
poisoned weapon is used, the victim must also make the saving throw
versus poison or die. The assassin decides which attack mode he or she
will use: assassination, back stabbing, or normal melee combat.

Primary abilities of assassins which enhance their function ore those of
being able to speak affgnmenf languages and being able to drsgwse, as
follows:

1 Assassins with intelligence of 15 or more ore able to learn an
alignment tongue ( even those special languages of druids ond
thieves]. This ability is gained at 9th level (Assassin) and
with each advance in experience level thereafter. The
maximum number of alignment languages which can be
spoken by an assassin is four — one for each point of
intelligence above 1 4, i.e. one at 1 5, two at 1 6, three at 17, and
four ol 18 inlelfigence. Note: An assassin would have to be of

12th level (Chief Assassin) and have 1 B intelligence to be able
1o speak four alignment languages. The assassin may select
from the fallowing languages:

CHAOTIC EVIL NEUTRAL EVIL

CHAOTIC GOOD NEUTRAL GOOD

CHAOTIC NEUTRALfTY NEUTRALITY

LAWFUL EW DRUIDIC

LAWFUL GOOD THIEVES' CANT
LAWFUL NEUTRALITY

2, Disguise can be donned In order to gain the opportunity to
poison or surprise a victim — or for other reasons. The assassin
con disguise himself or herself so as to appear to be a human,
semi-human, or humanoid creature of either sex. Disguise can
lower height by two or three mches, or raise it by up to four or
five inches. It can make the assassin look slimmer or appear
much heavier. Disguise can make the assassin appear to be
virtually any cfass of character, a simple pilgrim, a merchant,
etc. There is a chance, however, that the victim, or one of his
or her henchmen or guards, will notice the disguise. There is a
base chance of 2% per doy of o disguised assassin being
spotted. This chance goes upwards by 2% if the assassin is
posing as another class, another race, and/or the opposite sex
(maximum of S% chance). Each concerned party (victim,
henchmen, bodyguards) in proximity to the assassin will be
checked f of. immediately upon meeting the disguised assassin
ond each 24 hour period thereafter. The chance for spotting a
disguised assassin goes downward by )% for each point below
24 of combined intelligence and wisdom of the observer
concerned, i.e. a victim with an intelligence and wisdom
combined total of 20 has reduced his or her chances of
spotting the disguised assassin by 4%. The reverse is also true;
intelligence and wisdom above a combined total of 30
increase the chance of detection by 1% per point. Nate: True
seeing or a wond of enemy detection will discover an
assassin, os will defect evil, or knowa/ignment in some cases.

The secondary function of the assassin is spying. This mission con be
coupled with the stealing of some item.

Tertiary functions of assassins are the same as thieves. They have all
abilities and functions of thieves; bui, except for back stabbing, assassins
perform thieving at two levels betow their assassin level, i.e. a 3rd level
assassin has the thieving abilities of a 1st level thief, a 4th level assassin
the abilities of o 2nd level thief, m.

Performing an assassination will gain experience points for the character
— awarded for both the fee paid and rhe level of the victim. These awards
are determined by the referee on the basis of a formula given in

CHARACTER CLASSES (ASSASSIty

CHARACTER CLASSES {MONK}

An assassin character cannot have any hirelings until he or she attains 4th
level; at thai time lower level assassins may be taken into service. Upon
attaining 8th level, the character may also include thieves amongst his or
her hirelings Upon atlaining 12lh level, the character may hire any class
desired. Of course, only neutral or evil characters will serve an assassin.
The rotal number of henchmen is that dictoled by the character's charisma
score. "Followers" are also possible, but these come only al the two
uppermost levels of the assassin class.

In order for an assassin character to gain experience levels above the 1 3th
(Prime Assossin), he or she must have the requisite experience points and
then either ossossinole the locol Guildmoster Assossin [Ulh level) or
challenge him or her to a duel to the death. Likewise, o Uth level player
character assassin can journey to the place where ihe Grandfather of
Assassins (15th level) has his or her headquarters and slay him or her by
assassination or in a duel. Note that duplicity, trickery, ambush, and all
forms of treachery are considered as fair by assassins, A higher level
character can accept a challenge and then have the challenger slain by
archers, for instance.

AsGuildmasier (or Guild mis tress) Assassin, a character will have a body of
guild members which numbers between 7-28. Upon change of leadership
it is 75% likely that each guild member will leave the area. Thus, it will be
necessary for the new GuiEdmaster to allow new members into the guild.
These new assassins will all be 1st level and must be worked up Jn
experience levels. The maximum number of such "followers" of the local
guild will be set by your referee. They are in addition to normal
henchmen. Note that guild members ore loyal only to strength, power, and
profit.

The headquariers of a guild is always within a large town or big city, h
must not be a noticeable fortress or an ostentatious place. It is typically o
warehouse or other nondescript structure, with safeguards and traps
added. This avoids attention and unwanted notoriety, All expenses of
maintaining the guild and its members — excluding the Guitdmaster —
ore assumed to be fully paid for by normal guild activities. Any
improvements, changes, the expenses of the leader, and all other special
costs must be borne by the Guildmosier Assassin,

The headquarters of the Grondfother of Assassins con be virtuoMy
anywhere and of any form — cavern, castle, monastery, palace, temple,
you name It. However, if it is a large and obvious place, the headquarters
must be located well away from all communities — such as in the midst of
o murky woods, a dismal marsh or fen, a lonely moor, a deserted island, o
remote coast, or far into forsaken hills or atop a mountain. Upon otioining
the headship of all assassins, the new Grandfather or Grandmother must
pay all remaining followers of the former head 1000 gold pieces for each
of their experience levels, destroy the old headquarters, ond construct a
new one somewhere else.

The monk is the mast unusual of oH characters, the hardest to qualify for,
and perhaps, the most deadly. Thai Ml why the class is given out of
alphabetical order or the end of the section pertaining 1o character classes.

To be a monk a character must have the following minimum ability scores:
strength 15, wisdom 15, dexterity 15, and constitution 11 . Monks never gain
any experience paints bonuses. Dexterity gives them no armor doss
od|usfment,

Monks ore monastic aesthetics who practice rigorous mental and physical
training and discipline in order ro become superior. Therefore They must
always be lawful in alignment, although they can be evil, good, or neutral
wilh respecl to their approach to lawfulness. A monk who for any reason
loses this lawful alignment loses all monk abilities and must begin again
as a first level character. Nan-player character monks will be aligned as
follows: 50% lawful goad, 35% lawful neutral, 15% lawful evil.

A brief study of CHARACTER CLASSES TABLES I and II will reveal that ihe
monk appears to be quite weak, even considering that at the topmost level
o monk can have 18, albeil four-sided, hit dice (an average of 45 hir points
without constitution score additions, if any} and has a good seleciion of
weapons to choose from. Monks have no spell ability, cannot wear armor
or use a shield, and not even flaming oil is usable by them. This seems to
make a weak character class indeed. Bui this impression is false, for monks
have their own special attack and defense capabilities, certain other
powers, and most of the abilities of the thief class ond some clerical-type
capabilities as well. 5a, whi le the class has drawbacks, it is very strong.

With respect ro combat, monks attack on the some table as thieves.
However, they odd one-half of a hit point per level of experience to the
amount of damage they score when they successfully attack an opponent
wilh a weapon This simulates their study ond knowledge of weapons ond
anatomy. A 1st level monk scores x + l A HP of damage, where x equals
(he damage done by the weapon used and HP equals the number of hit
poinis of damage. A 2nd level monk does x + I when he or she scores a
hit, a 3rd level x + 1 l h, ond so on oil the way to Grand Master of Flowers
who scores x + B'/s HP damage. Monks of median level and above
actually fight better wilhoul weapons, using iheir open hands, despite the
weapon domage bonus they receive.

Open hand combat damage is shown on MONKS TABLE II below, in
addition, the monk has a chance to stun, or even kill, an opponent. An
opponent is stunned by o monk for 1-6 (do) melee rounds if the score of
the monk's "to hit" die score exceeds the minimum number required for a
hit by 5 or more, i.e. if 15 is required, a score of 20 would indicole a stun,
The "to hit" scores rolled by Ihe monk are never modified by any sirength
ability bonuses. The chance to kill is a percentage which equals Ihe armor
class (AC) of the opponent, modified by ihe number of experience levels
above seven which the monk has attained. AC -1 is a negative chance for
killing, as on example, bul a monk of 9th level (two above 7th) would
allow a 1% chance of killing. Note thai 1 ) the monk must score a hit, and 2)
the hit must stun the opponent, and 3) the percentile dice score must be
equal to or less than the armor class of the stunned opponent, modified by
Ihe monk's levels over 7ih, in order to score a kill.

Open hand fighling also allows the monk multiple attacks at such time as
the monk has attained the 4lh or higher experience level,

Monks make saving throws on ihe table used by thieves, but rhey gain
certain advantages: Non^ magical missiles (arrows, bolts, bullets, ihrown
doggers, thrown javelins, thrown spears, etc.) which would normally hit
can be dodged or knocked aside if the monk is able to make his or her
saving throw against petrification for each such poientiol hir. In other
respects, if a monk makes his or her saving throw against an attack form,
ihe monk wilt sustain no domage from the oitack, even if the attack form
was a f/reba/f, for Instance. At 9lh level (Master of the North Wind) or
higher, a monk who fails to make his or her saving throw will still sustain
but one-half the total potential damage which the attack form could
deliver, if possible. That is, a fireball would do 50% of total damage, but
ihe gaze of a basilisk would still petrify the monk.

At 1st level of experience, a monk is as likely io be surprised as any other
character, i.e. 33 T/3%. This chance goes down to 32% al 2nd level, and it
thereafter goes down 2% per level, so there is only a 30% chance of
surprising a 3rd level monk, 28% chance at 4th level, 26% chance at 5th
level, etc.

Monks have the following thief abilities which they perform at identical
level of experience to that of a thief, i.e. a 1st level monk performs as a 1 si
level thief, a 2nd level monk as a 2nd level thief, etc. The abilities are;

t. Open Locks

CHARACTER CLASSES (MONK}

2. Find/Remove Traps
3: Move Silently

4. Hide in Shadows

5. Hear Noise

6. Climb Walls

Although the chance of foiling while climbing walls is the some as that of
o thief of equal level, monks con escape taking damage as follows:

— At 4th level (Disciple), a monk con fall up to 20' H he or she is
within 1' of a wall.

— At 6th level (Master), o monk can fall up to 30' if he or she is
within 4' of a walk

— At 13th level (Master of Winter), a monk can fall any distance
if he or she is within 8 J of o wall

The monk must have an opportunity to periodically moke contact with the
wall during the descent. The wall is used by ihe monk to slow the fall so
that no hit points of damage are sustained from the foil. Note that when
reference to a wall is made, any similar surface, such as a tree trunk, cliff
face, and the like, are equally useful to the monk.

K. The last ability gained, and perhaps ihe mosi terrible power, is
thot fabled attack which enables the monk to set up vibrations
in the body of the victim, and the monk can then control such
vibrations so as to cause death to occur when the monk stops
them. Known as the "quivering palm", the monk merely
touches his victim to set up the deadly vibralions. The victim
can be virtually any creature. This power is limited os follows:

1. It can be attempted but once per week, and the monk
must touch the intended victim within 3 melee rounds
or the power is drained for one week,

2. It has no affect on ihe undead or creatures which con
be hil only by magical weaponry.

There are a number of strictures which monk characters must abide by.
These restrictions apply to 1 ) armor and weapons, 2) treasure, 3) magic
items usable. 4) strength ability adjustments, 5) henchmen, and 6)
advancement in level, as follows;

1, Armor, as previously stated, cannot be worn. Weapons usable by
monk characters are shown on CHARACTER CLASSES TABLE II;
weapons not listed cannot be used,

2, Monks, much like paladins (q.v.), may not retain more than a small
fraction of whatever treasure they gain, A monk may possess no more
man two magic weapons and three other magic items [see 3 below)
at any time. While monks may retain money sufficient for their
modesi needs, and To support their henchmen (see 5 below), all other
Treasure and excess magic items must be bestowed upon (non player)
religious institutions, (See also FofJowers hereafTer.)

3, Magic items usable by monks include all magical varieties of
weapons listed (unless proscribed), rings, and those miscellaneous
magic items which are usable by thieves. No other magic Items of ony
sort may be employed by monks.

4, Monks do noi gain any bonuses, either with respect to increasing "to
hit" probability or to increase Mi points of damage, for sirength
ability.

5, Unti] attaining ihe rank of Master, monks may not have any hirelings
or henchmen at all. At 6th level of experience, monks may hire
persons on a short-duration basis — for the duration of a single
adventure only. At this level, they may also acquire up to two
henchmen. Henchmen may be fighters (but not paladins nor rangers},
thieves, or assassins. With each level of experience obove the 6th
which the monk attains, he or she may add one additional henchman,
until the maximum number established by The monk's charisma score
Is reached. Monks will gain foNowers upon attaining 8th level; this Is
discussed hereafter,

& There can be only a limited number of monks above 7th level (Superi-
or Master). There ore Three 8th level (Master of Dragons) and but one
of each higher level. When o player character monk gains sufficient
experience points to qualify him or her for Sth level, the
commensurate abilities ore attained only temporarily. The monk must
find and defeat in single combat, hand-to-hand, without weapons or
magic items, one of the Bth level monks — the White, the Green, or
the Red. The same must be done at ihe ninth and higher levels. The

loser of These combats loses enough experience points to place him or
her ot the loweST number possible to aTiain ihe level just beneath the
new level. The monk character will know where to locate the higher
level monks; and he or she musT proceed Immediately to do combat or
else lose experience points equal to the number which will place him
or her at The lowesi number possible to have attained the level just be-
neath that of the monk he or she should have sought out but did not
That is, the player character drops to 7th level in the above case and
must then work upwards once again.

Fo/lowers: When a monk pioyer character altarns the Bth level of
experience, he or she will gain a number of monks as followers upon
defeating the monk which held the Bth level position thai Ihe player
charocier has now gotten. He or she will attract from 2-5 1st level monks if
the pioyer character has a monastery or monostery-like building to use as
a headquarters. These followers may be worked upwards in levels of
experience. The player character will atlroct 1 or 2 oddilionol monks of 1 si
level for each additional level of experience the player gains.

While followers of a monk are as loyal as his or her other henchmen, They
automatically leave service when they ottain the level of Superior Master
(7th).

All followers will be of the exact same alignment as ihe monk player
character, If he or she chonges alignment ihe currenl followers will
desert, but new ones con still be gained by advancement in level.

He or she may also retain sufficient funds thereafter to maintain such a

Nate thai monk followers require no support, upkeep, or pay of any sort.

The Mu It 1 -Classed Character

The game assumes that only non- or semi-human characters con be
multi-classed, and only certain class combinations are possible, depending
on the race of the character. Although these are listed in the section
dealing with each race of characTer, mulli-class charocier possibilities ore
also shown below in order to aid In selection of your character's class or
multi-class, Cleric combinations (with fighter types) may use edged
weapons,

O eric/Fighter: This combination Is strong In defensive and revitalization
capabilities, plus the offensive missile and melee combat power of the
fighter. Hil points average will be good. Hatf-elves and hotf-orcs may be
cleric/fighters.

D er/c/Frgh ter/Magic- use r: One of the best of the multi-class options, this
gives good offensive and defensive spell capability plus the fighter's
melee combat strength, Hoff-e/ves may be cleric/f Ighier/magic-users.

Clerk/Ranger: See cleric/fighter above. This combination is potent in out-
door situations os well. Hooves may be cleric/ranger*.

Gerfc/Magic-user; This combination gives the character a great variety
and selecTion of spells, as well as The use of armor ond more weapons. Hit
poinTs are somewhat better than those of the magic-user class alone.
Half -elves may be cleric/ magic-users.

Cleric/Thief: This is a combination of classes which gives both defensive
ond stealth potential. Hit points are Improved wilh regard to the thief doss
only. As with all thief class combinations, however, any functions as a thief
are under the restrictions of thot class with regard to armor, i.e. only
leather armor ond no shield. Half -ores may be cleric/thieves.

Oerre/Assass/n: Seemingly strange, this combination is quite
understandable when the race which can operate in these two classes at
ihe same time is noted. The combination gives great potential in defensive
and stealth situations and very powerful assassination attack capabilities.
Hit points are good because of clerical hit dice. Half-ores may be clerical

protection, the use of weoponry, and spells. Hit points ore good on the
overage (5'^ + 2Va m 8 + 2 = 4 hit points per double-classed level). Elves
and holf- elves may be fighter/magic-users.

Ffghter/l/iusionrsr: See Fighter/Magic- user above. Gnomes may be
fighter/illusionists.

Fighter/Thief: By combining these two classes — the armor, weapons, and
combat capabilities of the fighter with the stealth and other abilities of the
ihier — o very effective character is created, even though thieving
functions restrict the character to leother armor and no shield. Hil points
are goad. Dwarves, elves, gnomes, half -elves, hofffings, and half-ores may
be fighter/thieves,

Fighter/Assassin. This combination gives excellent missile ond meJee
combat ability, plus assassination and stealth potential. Hit points are
good. Half-ores may be fighter/assassins.

Frghter/Magic-user/Thtef 1 Combat, spell, and stealth capabilities are
given to the character who opts this multi-class combination. This is a very
powerful mix, Hit points ore good [5ft + 7>h + 3 l /i = IIW + 3 = 4) on
the average, fives and half-elves may be fighter/magic-user/thieves,

Mogjc^user/Th/ef; This combination does not offer all of the options open
to a fighter/ magic- user /thief, but advancement is usually more rapid.
Average hit points are fair, i.e. 3 per level. Elves and half-elves may be
magic-user/thieves.

Illusionist/Thief: See AAogic-User/Thief above. Gnomes may be
illusionist/thieves.

The Oictrcwter With Two Clou..

Unlike multi-classed characters who are of non- or semi-human race, the
character with two classes must be human. To attain the second class, the
character must switch his or her profession at some point, Thereafter no
progression in the original class is possible.

In order to switch from one class to another, the character must have an
ability score of 15 or more in the principol attrrbute(s) ability of ihe
original class ond a 17 or 18 in the principal attribute(s) of the class
changed to. Note that nearly any combination of classes is thus possible.
I.e. cleric & fighter, cleric & paladin, cleric & ranger, etc. Alignment will
preclude some combinations.

When the character opts lo cease his or her old profession and become a
new class, the character retains the number of hit dice (and the
commensurate hit points) due to o character of the level of his or her class.
However, all other functions of the character are at 1st level of
experience, for that is his or her ability in the newty espoused class.
Furthermore, if, during the course of any adventure, the character resorts
to the use of any of the capabilities of functions of his or her former class,
the character gains no experience for the adventure. Having switched
classes, the character must perform strictly within the parameters of his or
her new profession. Reversion to the former class negates all experience
potential for the new class with respect to the course of recent activities,
i.e. the adventure during which original profession functions were
resorted to.

At such time as the character has attained a level of experience in his or
her new class which exceeds the character's former class level, the follow-
ing benefits ore gained:

1. A hit die appropriate to the new class is gained for each
increase in level of experience, up to the maximum normal for
the class in question (ond thereafter hit paints are likewise
gained), and

2. The character may mix functions freely ond still gain
experience, although restrictions regarding armor, shield,
and/or weapon apply with regord to operations particular to
one or both classes,

Example; A character with ability scores of 15 strength, 17 Intelligence, 12
wisdom, 10 dexterity, 16 constitution, and 7 charisma is begun as a fighter.
After attaining 6th level the player switches the character to magic- user.
This allows the character to retain six ten-sided hit dice, but In all other
respects he or she must be a 1st level magic-user, wearing no armor,
carrying those weapons usable by his or her new class, and using spells to
combat opponents. When 7th level of experience is gained, however, the

character gets a four-sided hit die for oddiiional hil points he or she can
sustain at the new level. Furthermore, the character con now carry (but not
wear} armor ond weapons noi normally usable by mogk-users, and resort
to their use if the need arises and not be penalized in respect to
experience as a magic-user, for he or she has already surpassed In the
new class the disciplines of Ihe former. Thus, no horm accrues to his or her
experience os a magic-user, Note that this does not allow spell use while
armor clad, such as an etven fighter/magic user is able to do.

ALIGNMENT

After generating the abilities of your character, selecting his or her race,
and deciding upon a class, it is necessary to determine the alignment of
the character, Ij is possible that the selection of the class your character
will profess has predetermined alignment: a druid is neutral, a paladin is
lawful good, a thief can be neutral or evil, an assassin is always eviL Yet,
except for druids and paladins, such restrictions stilt leave latitude — the
thief can be lawful neutral, lawful evil, neutral evil, chaotic evil, chaotic
neutral, neutral, or even neutral good; ond the assassin has nearly as
many choices. The alignments possible for characters are described below.

Chaatic Evil: The major precepts of this alignment are freedom,
randomness, and woe. Laws and order, kindness, and good deeds are
disdained. Life has no value. By promoting chaos ond evil, those of this
alignment hope to bring themselves to positions of power, glory, and
prestige in a system ruled by individual caprice and their own whims.

Chaotic Good. While creatures of this alignment view freedom and the
randomness of action as ultimate truths, they likewise place value on life
and Ihe welfare of each individual. Respect far individualism Is also great.
By promoting the gods of chaotic good, characters of this alignment seek
to spread their values throughout the world.

Chaofic Neutral: Above respect for life and good, or disregard for life and
promotion of evil, the chaatic neutral places randomness and disorder.
Good and evil are complimentary balance arms. Neither are preferred,
nor must either prevail, for ullimate chaos would then suffer.

Lawful Evil: Creatures of thfs alignment are great respecters of laws and
strict order, but life, beauty, truth, freedom and the like are held as
valueless, or at least scorned. By adherrng to stringent discipline, those of
lawful evil alignment hope to impose Iheir yoke upon the world-
Lawful Good: While as strict in their prosecution of law and order,,
characters of lowful good alignment follow these precepts to improve the
common weal. Certain freedoms must, of course, be sacrificed In order to
bring order; but truth is of highest value, and life and beauty of great
importance. The benefits of this society are to be brought to all,

Lawful Neutral: Those of this alignment view regulation as all-important,
taking a middle rood betwixt evil and good. This is because the ultimate
harmony of the world — and the whole of the universe — is considered by
lawful neutral creatures to have its sole hope rest upon low and order. Evil
or good are immoterio! beside the determined purpose of bringing all to
predictability and regulation.

Neutral Evil: The neutral evil creature views law and chaos as unnecessary
considerations, for pure evil is all-in-all. Either might be used, but bolh ore
disdained as foolish clutter useless in eventually bringing maximum
evilness to the world,

Neutral Good: Unlike those directly opposite them (neutral evil) in
alignment, creatures of neutral good believe that there must be some
regulation in combination with freedoms if the best is to be brought to the
world ~ the most beneficial conditions for living things in general and
intelligent creatures in particular.

True Neutral; The "true" neutral looks upon all other alignments as facets
of the system of things. Thus, each aspect — evil and good, chaos and low
— of things must be retained in balance to maintain the sratus qua; for
things as they are cannot be improved upon except temporarily, and even
then but superficially. Nature will prevail and keep things as they were
meant to be, provided the "wheel" surrounding the hub of nature does
not become unbalanced due to the work of unnatural forces — such as
human and other intelligent creatures interfering with what Is meant to be.

Naturally, there are all variations and shades of tendencies within eoch
alignment. The descriptions are generalizations only. A character can h-

ALIGNMENT

CHARACTER LANGUAGES

basically good in its "true" neutrality, or tend towards evil. It Is probable
that your campaign referee will keep a graph of the drift of your character
on the alignment chart. This is affected by the actions (and desires) of your
character during the course of each adventure, and will be reflected on
the graph. You may find that these actions are such as to cause the
declared alignment to be shifted towards, or actually to, some other.

■

While involuntary change of alignment is quite possible, It is very difficuli
for □ character to vol union ly switch from one to another, except within
limited areas. Evil alignment can be varied along the Like axis. The neutral
character can opt for some more specific alignment. Your referee will
probably require certain stringent sacrifices and appropriate acts —
possibEy a quest, as well — for any other voluntary alignment change. In
fact, even axial change within evil or good, or radial movement from
neutrality may require strong proofs of various sorts.

Further voluntary change will be even more difficult. Changing back to a
forsaken alignment is next to Impossible on a voluntary basis. Even
involuntary drift will bring the necessity of great penance.

CHARACTER HIT POINTS

Each character has a varying number of hit points,- just as monsters do.
These hit points represent how much damage {actual or potential) the
character can withstand before being killed. A certain amount of these hit
points represent the actual physical punishment which can be sustained.
The remainden a significant portion of hit points at higher levels, stands
for skill, luck, ond/or magical factors. A typical man-at-arms con take
about 5 hit points of damage before being kilted. Let us suppose that a 10th
level fighter hos 55 hit points, plus a bonus of 30 hit points for his
constitution, for a total of 95 hit points. This is the equivalent of about 1 8 hit
dice for creatures, about what it would take to kill four huge war horses It
15 ridiculous to assume thai even o fantastic f<qhter cdn lake 'that much
punishment. The same holds true to a lesser extent for clerics, thieves, ond
the other classes. Thus, the majority of hit points are symbolic of combat
skill, luck (bestowed by supernatural powers), and magical forces.

Hit points are determined by hit dice. At 1st 0 character has but one
hit die (except/on: rangers and monks begin with two dice each). At each
successive level another hit die is gained, i.e. the die is rolled to determine
how many additional hit points the character gets! Hit points can be
magically restored by healing potions, cure wounds % spells r rings of
regeneration, or even by wish spells. However, a character's hit points can
never exceed the totol initially scored by hit dice, constitution bonus (or
penalty) and magical devices. For example, If a character has 26 hit points
al the beginning of an adventure, he or she cannot drink a potion or be
enchanted to above thai number, 26 in this case. *

As an example, let us assume that the character with 26 hit points
mentioned above is engaged in an adventure. Early in the course of
exploring the dungeon, he or she foils Into a deep pit taking one
six-sided die (1d6) of damage — 4 hit points of dar£j^e* so the character
drops to 22 hit paints. Next, he or she take? 15 bit r '£l}:ot damage in
combat, so the character drops to 7 hit points. 'A^d*r' ^Pf^ ve P orr V uses a
cure serious wounds spell on the character, and mliT restores 10 (for
example, depending upon the die roll) of his or her lost hit points, so the
character has a total of )7. Later activities reduce the character lo 3 hit
points, but the party uses a wish spell to restore all members to full hit
points, so a r that time the character goes up lo 26 once more. ,

Rest olso restores hit points, for it gives the body o chance to heal uself and
regain ihe stamina or force which adds the skill, luck, and magical hit
points

Your character's class will determine which sort of die you will roll to
determine hit points. In some campaigns the referee will keep this fatal
secret, informing players only that they feel "strong", "fatigued" or "very
weak", thus indicating waning hit points. In other campaigns the Dungeon
Master will have players record their character's hit points and keep track
of all changes. Both methods are acceptable, and il is up to your DM as to
which will be used in the campaign you participate In.

created your character, Next you must nome him or her, and possibly give
some family background (and name a next of kin as heir to the
possessions of the character if he or she should meet an untimely death) to
personify the character. Having done all that, your Dungeon Master will
introduce your character to the campaign setting. In all likelihood,
whether the locale is a village, town, or city, your character will have to
acquaint himself or herself with the territory.

The first step will often be getting Into the place, i.e. o gate guard
demanding to know what business you have in the town or city. Thereafter
if will be necessary to locate a sofe and reasonably priced place in which
to lodge — typically an inn of some sort, but perhaps a rented cot, a loft or
even chambers at o hostel. Since the location selected will have to serve
as base and depot, it must be relatively safe from intrusion or burglary.
Once o headquarters has been found., your character can set about
learning the lay of the land, and attempt to find the trade establishments
needed to supply the desired equipment for adventuring. Perhaps it will
also be necessary to locate where other player characters reside in order
to engage in joint expeditions.

In any event, your character created, personified, and established will be
ready to adventure once equipment is purchased and relations with other
player characters are settled. If player characters are not immediately
available, or If they are not co-operative, it is advisable that men-at-arms
be hired. Hirelings of this sort, as well as henchmen (q,v.), are detailed in
the sections entitled HIRELINGS ond HENCHMEN.

CHARACTER LANGUAGES

All humans, as well as those semi-humans and non-humans in close
contact with people, speak the "common tongue". This language Is
spoken by all states in the central campaign area, but your referee may
well have areas in which the common tongue is different from that which
your character speaks,

In addition to the common tongue, all intelligent creatures able to
converse in speech use special languages particular to their alignment.
These alignment languages are: Chaolic Evil, Chaoiic Good, Chaotic
Neutral, Lawful Evil, Lawful Good, Lawful Neutral, Neutral Evil, Neutral
Good, and Neutrality. The alignment of your character will dictate which
language he or she speaks, for only one alignment dialect con be used by
a character [cf. CHARACTER CLASSES, The Assassin). If a character
changes alignment, the previously known language is no longer able to
be spoken by him or her.

In addition to the above, druids (q.v,) have their own special tongue, and
thieves hove their secret speech, the Thieves' Cant,

Therefore, o character will speak at least two languages — common and
alignment. He or she mighi also be able to converse En Ihe special patois
of druids or thieves. Semi-human and non-human characters are able to
speak racial tongues as well. (See CHARACTER RACES.) In most
campaigns, it is likely that open alignment speech will be frowned upon as
a serious breach of social etiquette.

A character can learn additional languages. Even the rather slow (80 LQ.)
can learn one additional language, However, his vocabulary, usage, and
ability to translate must, perforce, be limited. The very bright can learn
five, six, or even seven. (For details of the number of tongues which can
be learned see CHARACTER ABILITIES, Intelligence.) Here is how a new
language is learned;

The character must find a person (human, semi-human, or non-human) or
talking creature who speaks the language which fs to be learned. The
character must then be in close proximity to his or her instructor for up to
one year, ond prior lo that period the language can be learned one month
early for each point of intelligence above 12. Thus, a character with 13
intelligence learns the new language in 1] months, 14 intelligence learns
in 10 months, all the way to 18 intelligence when requires but six months
to learn. Only one new language can be studied at any given time.

Which languages ore knowable in a campaign is strictly up to the DM who
runs it. The following list gives some of the languages typically used:

circumstances, and languages not listed might be common. Consult your
Dungeon Master. Note thai if, for example, you capture a centaur or
talking dragon of some sort, it is possible to learn the appropriate creature
tongue.

MONEY

starring iwons-y

Your character is unusual, exceptional as compared to the norm. This
applies to abilities and funds as well. Thus, he or she will hove a large
supply of coins with which to purchase equipment and supplies to begin
adventuring. The possible number of gold pieces wiih which a ,
begins depends upon the character class;

Cleric

fighter

Magic-user

Thief

Monk

30-180 g.p. (3d6)
50-200 g.p. (5d4)
20- 80g.p.{2d4)
20-1 20 g.p. (2d6)
5- 20g.p.(5d4)

To determine the number of gold pieces your character has at the start,
simply roll the appropriate dice and total the sum (adding a decimal place
if necessary).

Most of these funds will quickly be spent on the costs of staying in Ihe
adventuring area and acquiring the equipment which will be used for
adventuring. (See BASIC EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES COSTS table
hereafter.)

EQUIPPING THE CHARACTER

Careful selection of equipment and supplies for characters is very
important. Often there will not be sufficient funds to purchase everything
desired, so intelligent choices will hove to be made. Also, the choice of
equipment should always be done with respect to encumbrance (see
MOVEMENT) restrictions.

In many campaigns it is necessary for the characters to shop in a number of
ploces in order to obtain everything they desire. A few games will hove o
trader's establishment in which everything, or nearly everything, can be
found, but the average costs will be higher because these traders ore
middle- men.

As in most dealings, the buyer should always beware. Things may be as
they appear or they might be otherwise . . .

A list of goods typically desired by characters follow*.

The basic unit of exchange is the goW piece (g.p. hereafter}. There are
coins of lesser and greater value, ond these are shown on the table below.

= 5 g.p.

Thus:

200 c.p. = 20s,p, = 2e.p. = 1 g.p. = 1/5 p.p.

It is assumed thai the size and weight of each coin is relatively equal to
each other coin, regardless of type.

Your character will most probably be adventuring in an area where money
is plentiful, Think of the situation as similar to Alaskan boom towns during
the gold rush days, when eggs sold for one dollar each and mining tools
sold for $20, $50, and $100 or morel Costs in the adventuring area ore
distorted because of the low of supply and demand — the supply of coin is
high, while supplies of equipment for adventurers are in great demand.

Large sums of lower value coins can be changed to a smaller number of
larger value coins, and vice versa, at a relatively small cost — typically 3%
of the transaction. This is done at the money changer's. The money
changer will also score as a banker, keeping funds and giving a marker to
vouch for the omounl. Note that bankers will not usually give any interest.

Bonkers will give loans according to the reliability, reknown, status, and
material possessions of the Individual, An unknown and low- level
character is unlikely to get a loan without giving security for the value of
the amount borrowed. Furthermore, Ihe interest rote will be high —
typically 10% per month or even 5% per week. A well-known ond
propertied character can typically get large loans at relatively low interest
— 1 % per week or thereabouts.

Jewelers, and gem merchants, will buy and sell jewelry and gems. The
buying price will usually be 20% under the actual value of the piece or

Notes Regarding Weapon Proficiency Table;

Initial Number of Weapons shows ihe number which the character may
select to be proficient with, i.e. □ cleric could select a flail and staff, club
and mace, or any combination of two permitted weapons.

Non-proficiency Penalty indicates the subtraction from the character's "to
hit" dice which opphes to attacks by the character using such a weapon in
missile or melee combat (See COMBAT.)

Added Proficiency m Weapons gives the number of additional weapons
the character can use with proficiency upon attaining the indicated
number of levels above the 1st. Thus, at 1st level a cleric can use two
weapons with proficiency, at 5th level the cleric selects another for o total
of three, at 9th leveJ ihe total is four, ot 1 3th five, etc.

HIRELINGS

DISTANCE

HIRELINGS

At any time, a character may attempi to hire various different som of
workers, servants, or guards. The success of such hiring is entirely
dependent upon availability of the type desired, wage and bonus offers,
and to some extent the character's charisma. Typical hirelings ore;

Alchemist Blacksmith Linkboy Teamster

Armorer Crossbowman Man-at-arms Vafel

Bearer Engineer Steward

Your character will have to locate the whereabouts of whatever type of
hirelings he ar she desires to take into service, and it will be up to your
character 10 determine wages and salaries in ihe area he or she is in.

Employment can be by the hour, day, week, month, or year according to
the desires of the character and agreeabillty of the persons to be hired.
Your referee will handle alt such matters as they occur.

Note that the number of hirelings is in no way limited by charisma, and
hirelings differ considerably from henchmen who are discussed
immediately hereafter. The loyalty of hirelings Is quite similar to thai of
henchmen, ihough, and the discussion of the loyalty of henchmen can be
applied to hirelings of oil sorts, (See HENCHMEN hereafter.)

uthiruuctu
ricrovrimcpi

As discussed in the preceding section regarding CHARACTER ABILITIES.

charisma has a greol effect on the number of henchmen a character is
able to attract,

A henchman is a more or less devoted follower of a character. In return for
the use of his or her abilities and talents, the henchman receives support,
lodging, and a share of his or her master's or mistress' earnings — in Ihe
form of stipends or as a share of treasure taken, Henchmen are always of a
character roceand character closs, but are never player characters.

The alignment of o henchman should be compatible with lhat of the player
character whom he or she serves, Difference in alignment will certainly
affect the loyalty of all henchmen, if alignment is radically different.

II will usually be necessary for your character to visit various inns and
drinking establishments in search of henchmen. It is also possible that a
number of notices will have to be posted, perhaps in conjunction with ihe
employment of a crier to announce the employment offered The cost of
such is often high — in rounds of drinks, food, tips, gratuities, bribes, fees
and so forth. These costs are in addition to actual sums paid to the
henchmon eventually employed Locating non-human characters such as
dwarves, elves, and the like might be even more protracted, difficult, and
costly than the hiring of human ond semi-human henchmen. This depends
on campaign circumstances — such as whether or not non-humans are
common in the area and whether or not non-humans tend to associate
wirh humans ond frequent the inns and taverns.

Once o henchman is brought into your character's service, it will be
necessary to pay a wage plus suppon and upkeep. Your referee will
inform you as to such costs. When a henchman accompanies your
character on adventures, he or she musi be given a portion of treasure,
both money and magic, just as o player character would. However, the
share can be lesser, for all of the henchman's expenses ore paid for by his
or her master or mistress. Naturally, ri is a good idea 10 give o henchman
as much treasure as possible, for in that way Ihe henchman gains
experience points.

Experience awarded to henchmen is usually much less than that which
would be given 10 a player character. This is because the henchmen ore
acting under ihe direction of their master or mistress. So you should expect
thai your character's henchmen will get about 50% of the experience
points which their share in the slaying of opponents and garnered treasure
actually roials — possibly even less if your character bore the brunt of the
aciion and closely directed the henchmen, The loyally of henchmen is
bosed on many factors. Charisma of ihe player character is very important,
Remuneration — suppon, upkeep, wages, bonuses, and shoring of
treasure — plays a big part also. The involvement of henchmen in
advem'uring is important, as are the activities of the character (and what
he requires of the henchmen) during the course of adventuring, For
example:

Assuming the character has above average charisma, he or she could be
somewhot less than generous in remuneration and still have henchmen
with obout average loyally. If remuneration or activity were above the
minimum required, loyalty would be correspondingly higher, If both
remuneration and activity were exceptional, the loyahy base of henchmen
would be likewise exceptional. Actions to protect ihe fives and welfare of
henchmen, or saving Ihe fife of or resurrecting henchmen, give loyalty
above average,

Disloyalty will come into ploy in combat and other stress situations.
Disloyal henchmen will betray or desert Iheir master or mistress, (See

TIME

Time in the campaign is very important. Your referee will keep Strict
account of the time consumed by various characters, for it is likely to
separate them, since not all participants are likely to ploy at the same
actual lime. Time costs characters money in support, upkeep, and wage
payments li takes time la adventure, to heal wounds, to memorize spells,
to learn languages, to build strongholds, to create magic items — a very
long time in the last given case.

In adventuring below ground, a turn in the dungeon lasts 10 minutes (see
also MOVEMENT). In combal, the turn is further divided inlo 10 melee
rounds, or simply rounds. Rounds are subdivided into 10 segments, for
purposes of determining initiative (q.v.) and order of attacks. Thus a turn is
1 0 minutes, a round 1 minute, and a segment 6 seconds

Ouidoors, time is measured in days, usually subdivided Into daylight
(movement) and night (resi) periods. Thus, while actual lime playing is
about The same for a dungeon adventure, the game lime spent is much
greater in the case of outdoor adveniures.

DISTANCE

For purposes of the game distances are bosically one-third with respeci io
spell and missile range from outdoors to indoors/underground situations.
Thus most ranges ore shown as Inches by means of the symbol Le, V\
etc. Outdoors, \" equals 10 yards Indoors 1" equals 10 feel. Such a ratio Is
justifiable, to some extent, regardless of game considerations.

Actual effective range of an arrow shol from a longbow is around 210
yards maximum, in cleor light and open terrain. Underground, with little
light ond low ceilings overhead, a bowshot of 210 feet is aboul maximum.
Archery implies arching arrows. Slings are in this category as are hurled
darts and javelins, all arching in flight to achieve distance. Crossbows are
a noiable exceplion, bul under the visibility conditions of o dungeon
setting, a yards lo feel conversion is not unreasonable.

Magic and spells are, most certainly, devices of the game. In order to
make ihem fit the conslhcfions of the underground labyrinth, a one for
Ihree reduction is necessary. Il would be folly, ofler all, to try to have such
as effective oftack modes if feel were not converted to yards outdoors,
where visiblEity, movement, and conventional weapons attack ranges are
based on actual fact. (See MOVEMENT.)

Distance scale and areas of effect for spells (and missiles) are designed to
fit Ihe garnet The tripling of range outdoors is reasonable, as il allows for
recreaiion of actual ranges for hurled javelins, arrows fired from
longbows, or whatever. In order io keep magic spells on a par, their range
is also tripled IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT OUTDOOR SCALE BE USED FOR RANGE
ONLY, NEVER FOR SPELL AREA OF EFFECT (which is kept oil " = 1 0') UNLESS
A FIGURE RATIO OH : 1 0 OR 1 : 20 ( 1 casting equals 10 or 20 actual creatures
or things in most cases) IS USED, AND CONSTRUCTIONS SUCH AS
BUILDINGS, CASTLES. WALLS. ETC. ARE SCALED TO FIGURES RATHER THAN
TO GROUND SCALE. Note that the foregoing assumes lhat a ground scale
of 1" to 10 yards is used.

Movement scale is kept as flexible os passable in order to deal with ihe
mulntude of applications il has, i.e. dungeon movement (exploring and
otherwise), city travel, ireks through the outdoors, and combat situations
arising during the course of any such movements. Your referee will have
informahon which will enable him or her to adjust the movement rate la
the applicable lime scale for any situation.

MONSTER, THE TERM

SPELL TABLES (CLERIC)

MONSTER, THE TERM

It is necessary to stress thai the usage of the term "monster" is generic for
any creature encountered during the course of adventuring. A monster con
be exactly what the name implies, or it can be a relatively harmless
animal, a friendly intelligent beast, a crazed human, a band of dwarves, a
thief — virtually anything or anyone potentially threatening or hostile.

When your referee indicates your character has encountered a monster,
that simply indicates a confrontation between your character and some
type of creature is about to take place. The results of such o meeting will
depend on many factors, including the nature of the monster and your
character's actions. All monsfers are not bad...

CHARACTER SPELLS

The casting of spells, clerical and magical, is o very important aspect of
play. Most spells hove a verba! component, and so must be uttered. Most
spells also have a somatic (movemenl of the coster's body, such as
gesturing) component. Some spells have a third component, that of
materia/.

Clerical spells, including the druidic r are bestowed by the gods H so that the
cleric need bul pray for a few hours and the desired verbal and somatic
spell components will be placed properly in his or her mind. First, second,
third, and even fourth level spells are granted to the cleric through
meditation and devour prayer This spell giving is accomplished by the
lesser servants of the clerk's deity. Fifth, sixth, and sevenih level spells con
be given to the cleric ONLY by the cleric's deity directly, not through some
intermediary source. Note that the cleric might well be |udged by his or
her deity at such time, as the cleric must supplicate the deity for the
granting of these spells. While the deity may grant such spells full
willingly, o deed, or sacrifice, atonement or abasement may be required.
The deity might olso ignore a specific spell request and give the cleric
some other spell (or none at alt). Your Dungeon Master wilt handle this
considering a cleric's alignment and faithfulness to it and his or her deity.
Note that some cleric spells (and all druid spells) also require material
ingredients in order for the desired effect lo take place. Such components
must be supplied by the cleric (or druid), as material is not bestowed.

Magical spells, those of the magic-user and illusionist, ore not bestowed
by any supernatural force. Rather, the magic-user (or illusionist} must

memorize each spell, verbal and somatic components, and supply himself
or herself with any required materials as welt, Such memorization requires
the character to consult his or her spell books In order to impress the
potent, mysiical spell formulae upon ihe mind. Additional items for the
material component must then be acquired, if necessary.

Speifs of any sort must therefore be selected prior to setting out on on
adveniure, for memorization requires considerable time. (Your Dungeon
Master will inform you fully as to what state of refreshment the mind of a
spell caster must be in, as well as ihe lime required to memorize a given
spell.) As a rule of thumb, allow 15 minutes of game time for
mornohzolion of one spell level, i,e, a 1st level spell or half of a 2nd level
spelt. Such activity requires a mind rested by a good sleep and nourished
by ihe body.

Once cast, a spell is totally forgotten. Gone. The mystical symbols
impressed upon the brain carry power, and speaking the spell discharges
this power, draining all memory of the spell used. This does not preclude
multiple memorization of the same spell, but it does preclude multiple use
of a single spell memorized but once. When a spell caster shoots his or her
spell-bolt, so to speak, it is gone.

As previously shown in ihe CHARACTER CLASSES section, the number of
spells usable by a character depend upon class and level. Details of spell
casting are given later in the section on comtraf <q.v.).

The nature and components of the various spells ore given in the section
immediately after the spell tobies. These spell descriptions also contain
such information as is pertinent, i.e. range, duration, effect, etc. Your
Dungeon Master may add to or delete from a spell (s) and may even add or
delete entire spells. He will inform you of these changes pnor to selecting
spells or when new spells become available to your character.

Material components for spells are assumed to be kept m little pockets,
stored in the folds and small pockets of the spell caster's garb. Of course,
same materials are too bulky, and in these cases the materials must be
accounted for carefully. Also, some materials are rare, and these must be
found and acquired by [he spell user.

Special cases which pertain to each class of spell-using character type will
be noted before each set of spell explanations.

SPELL EXPLANATIONS

CLERIC SPELLS (1ST LEVEL}

SPELL EXPLANATIONS

Each spell is preserved here in exactly the same format The spell is first
identified by name and type of magic it involves. Thereafter its level,
range (distance il can be cast), duration, area of effect, components, cost-
ing time, and saving throw are shown. Fmolly, an explanation of the spell
and a description of its effects are given in some detail.

Range is shown in inches (See DISTANCE) or as "touch", which indicates
the caster must physically contact the recipient of the spell with his or Her
hand.

Duration is given as number of turns, rounds, or simply "instontaneous", as
in the cose of a lightning bolt which lasts only a brief moment. (See TIME)

i (Con jurat ion/ Summoning) Reversible

Area of Effect shows how large on area the spell covers, or how many
persons or creatures it will affect

Components, as previously mentioned, are verbal (V), somatic (S), and/or
material (AA). This indicates which are part of the spell .

Costing Time shows the number of melee rounds, or segments of a melee
round, required to cast the spell Remember that there are 10 segments to
o melee round, 10 melee rounds to a lurn. Some spells require additional
time and preparation.

Saving Throw tells whether a saving throw js possible, ond if it is possible,
wheiher success negates (rregj the spell or reduces its effects by 50%

CLERIC SPELLS

All material components required for the various spells are used by
completion of the spell in question with the notoble exceptions of standard
religious items, i.e. religious symbols and prayer beads or similar devices.

The reversol of some spells might well place the cleric in a questionable
position with respect to alignment- The use of spells which promote weal
musi be shunned by evil clerics in many cases. Likewise, spells which are
baneful may be used only at peril by clerics of good alignment. Incautious
use of spells will change the clerk's alignment, if such usage continues
unchecked, and it is up to the player to guard his or her character's
alignment with care. In any event, the clerk must decide which
application of a reversible spell will be used prior to learning it, i.e. it is
noi possible to have one spell both woys. In like manner, the mere request
for a spell (or its opposite) through prayer will not guarantee that ihe spell
will be given to the cleric. As the spell level becomes higher, confidence
will decrease that that deity will concur.

Your Dungeon Master might alter the material components of spells,
require only religious adjuncts as material, or just do away with them.

CLERIC SPELLS (2ND LEVEL/

CLERIC SPELLS (3RD LEVEL/

who cast stew poison upon the victim. White this spell does not neutralize
the venom, ii does prevent it from substantially harming the individual for
the durarian of its magic, but each turn the poisoned creaiure will lose 1 hit
point from the effecl of the venom (although the victim will never go
below 1 hit point while the sfow poison spell's duroiion lasts). Thus, in the
example above, the victim poisoned 10 turns previously hos only 10 hit
points, so when the 10th level cleric casts the spell, the victim remains with
1 hit point until the spell duration expires, ond hopefully during that period
a full cure can be accomplished. The material components of this spell are
the cleric's holy/unholy symbol and o bud of gorlic which must be crushed
and smeared on the victim's bare feet

The reverse of the spell, slay living, allows the victim a saving throw, and if
n is successful, the victim sustains damage equal only to thot caused by a
cause senous wounds spell, i,e, 3-17 hit points. An evil cleric can freely use
the reverse spell; o good cleric must exercise extreme caution in its

spell is evil and that his or her death is a matter of great necessity and for
good, otherwise the olignment of the cleric will be sharply chonged. Note
thai newly mode undeod, excluding skeletons, which fall within the days

Area of Effect: J cubic footle vef

Components: V, $
Casting Time: 9 segments
Saving Throw: None

Explanation/Description; This powerful spell enables the cleric casting it lo
imbue inanimate objects with mobility and a semblance of life. The
animaied object, or objects, then attack whomever or whatever ihe cleric
f irsi designates. The object con be of any material whatsoever wood,
metal, Stone, fobric, leather, ceramic, glass, eic. The speed of movement
of ihe object is dependent upon its means of propulsion and Its weight. A
large wooden table would be raiher heavy, but its legs would give it
speed. A rug could only slither along. A [or would roll. Thus a lorge sione
pedestal would rock forward at 1" per round, a stone siaiue would move
at 4" per round, a wooden statue 8" per round, an ivory stool of light
weight would move at 12". Slithering movement is about T J to 2" per
round, roiling 3" to 6" per round. The damage caused by the attack of an
animaied object is dependent upon Its form and composition. Light, supple
objects can only obscure vision, obstruct movemeni, bind, trip, smother,
etc. Light, hard objects can fall upon or otherwise sirike for 1-2 hit points of
damage or possibly obstruct and trip as do light, supple objects. Hard,
medium weighi objects can crush or sirike for 2^8 hit points of damage,
those larger and heavier doing 3-12, 4-16 r or even 5-20 hit poinrs of
damage. The frequency of attack of animated objects is dependent upon
their method of locomohon. appendages, and method of attack. This
varies from as seldom as once every five melee rounds to as frequenily as
once per melee round. The armor class of Ihe object animated is basically
a function of material and movement ability with regard to hitting.
Damage is dependent upon ihe type of weapon and the object struck. A
sharp cuiting weapon is effective against fabric, leather, wood and like
substances. Heavy smashing and crushing weapons are useful agamsi
wood, stone, and metal objects. Your referee will deiermine all of these
factors, as well as how much damage the animated object can sustain
before being destroyed. The cleric can animate 1 cubic foot of moier iai for
each level of experience he or she has attained. Thus, a Uth level cleric
could animate one or more objects whose solid volume did noi exceed U
cubic feet, i.e. a large statue, two rugs, three chairs, or a dozen average
crocks.

Explanation/Description: By means of ihe astro) spell a cleric is able to

physical body and material possessions behind on the Prrme Material
Plane, (the plone on which the entire universe and all of its parallels have
existence]. Only certain magic Hems which have multi-planed existence
can be brought into the Astral Plane. As the Astro/ Plane touches upon all
of the first levels of ihe Outer Planes, the cleric con Travel astrally lo any of
these Outer Planes as he or she wills. The cleric then leaves the Astral
Plane, forming o body on the plane of existence he or she fias chosen to
enter. It is also possible to travel astrally anywhere in the Prime Material
Plane by means of the astral spell, but a second body cannot be formed on
the Prime Material Plane. As a general rule, a person astrally projected
can be seen only by creatures on the Astral Plane. At oil times the astral
body is connected to the material by a silvery cord. If the cord is broken,
the affected person is killed, astrally and materially, but generally only the
psychic wind con normally cause the card to break. When o second body is
formed on o different plane, ihe silvery cord remains invisibly attached to
the new body, and the cord simply returns to the latter where it rests on the
Prime Material Plane, reviving it from its state of suspended animation.
Although astrally projected persons are able to funciion on the Astral
Plone, their actions do not offect creatures not existing on the Asrraf Plane.
The spell lasts until the cleric desires to end it, or until it is terminated by
some outside means (dispel magic or destruction of the cleric's body on
the Prrme Material Plane). The cleric can take up to five other creatures
with him or her by means of the astral spell, providing the creatures ore
linked in a circle with the clerk. These fellow travelers are dependent
upon the cleric and can be stranded. Travel in the Astral Plane can be slow
or fast according to the clerk's desire. The ultimate destinaiion arrived oi is

subject to the conceptualization of the cleric. [See APPENDIX IV, THE
KNOWN PLANES OF EXISTENCE, for further information on the Astral
Plane and astral projeclksn.)

come, a 4% chance exist* lhat an efreeti (q.v.) will come, and a 2% chance
exists that a huge fire elemental of 21 to 24 Hit dice (d4 + 20) will appear.
Because of ihe relationship of druids lo natural and elemental forces, the
conjuring druid need not fear that the elemental force summoned will turn
on him or her, so concentration upon the activities of the fire elemental (or
other creatures summoned) or the protection of a magic circle is not neces-
sory. The elemental summoned wilt help the druid however possible,
including attacking opponents of the druid. The fire elemental or other
creaiure summoned remains for a maximum of 1 turn per level of the

(movable mamlets, siege towers, etc) will move back. Objects under 3
inches diameter which are fixed will splinter and break and the pieces will
move with the wave of farce. Thus, objects such as wooden shields, spoors,
wooden weapon shafts and hafts, and arrows and bolts wilt be pushed
back r dragging those carrying ihem with ihem; and if a spear is planled in
order to prevent this forced movement, It will splinter. The turn wood spell
lasts for 4 rounds per level of experience of the druid costing it, and the
waves of force will continue to sweep down Ihe set path for this period.
The wooden objects in ihe area of effect are pushed back at a rate of 4"
per melee round. The length of the path is 2" per level of the druid, i.e. a
14th level druid casts a turn wood spell with an area of effect 12" wide by
28" long, and the spell would last for 56 rounds (5.6 turns). As usual, the
obove assumes the druid is using greater mistletoe when casting Ihe spell.
Note that after casting Ihe spell the path is set, and the druid may then do
other things or go elsewhere wilhaul affecting the spell's power.

Wall of Thorns (Conjuration/Summoning)

Components: V f S, M
Casting Time: 1 round/seed
Saving Throw: Y*

Explanation/Description; The spell of fire seeds creates special missiles or
timed incendiaries which burn with great heat. The druid may hurl these
seeds up to 4" or place them to ignite upon a command word. Acorns
become fire seed missiles, while holly berries ore used as the timed
incendiaries. The spell creates up to four acorn fire seeds or eight holly
berry fire seeds. The acorns bursi upon sinking their target, causing 2 lo 16
hit points (2d8) of damage and igniting any combustible materials within a
1" diameter of ihe point of impact. Although the holly berries are too light
to make effective missiles, they can be placed, or tossed up to 6' away, to
burst into flame upon a word of command. The berries ignite causing 1 to 8
hit points (d6) of damage to any creature in a W* diameter burst area, and
their fire ignites combustibles in the burst area. The command range for
holly berry fire seeds is 4". All fire seeds lose their power after the
expiration of 1 turn per level of experience of the druid casting the spell,
i.e. a 13th level druid has fire seeds which will remain patent far a
maximum of 13 turns after their creation. Targets of acorn fire seeds must
be struck by ihe missile, tf a saving throw is made, creatures within the
burst area take only one-half damage, but creatures struck directly always
take full damage. Note that no mistleioe or other material components
beyond acorns or holly berries are needed for this spell.

Exp la nation^ Description: The wall of thorns spell creates a barrier of very
lough, pliable green tangled brush bearing needle- sharp thorns as long as
a person's finger. Any creature breaking through (or merely impacting
upon) the wall of thorns takes 6 hit paints of damage plus an additional
amount of hit points equal to the creaiure's armor class, i.e. 10 or fewer
additional hit points of damage, wiih negative armor classes subtracting
from the base 8 hit points of damage. Any creature within the area of
effect of the spell when it is cast is considered to have impacted on the
wall of thorns and In addition must break through to gain movement
space. The damage is based an each \" thickness of the barrier. If the wall
of thorns is chopped at, it will take at least 4 turns lo cut a path through a
1" thickness. Normal fire will not harm the barrier, but magical fires will
burn away the barrier in 2 turns with Ihe effecl of creating a wall of fire
while doing so, (See wo// of fire spell.) The nearest edge of the wail of
thorns appears up to 8" distant from the druid, os he or she desires. The
spell lasts for 1 turn for each level of experience of the druid casting it, and
covers on area of ten cubic inches per level of the caster in whatever form
the caster desires. Thus a 14tb level druid could create a wall of thorns 7"
long by 2" high (or deep) by 1" deep (or high), a 1" high by 1" wide by
14" long wait to block a dungeon passage, or any other sort of shape thai
suited his or her needs.

Area of Effect: Spec ial

Costing Time; I rum
Saving Throw: None

Expianalion/Descripiion: The druidic weather summoning spell is similar
to the control weather spell (q<v.) of clerical nature. By casting the spell,
the druid calls forth weather commensurate with the climate ond season of
the area he or she is in at the time. Thus, in spring a tornado, thunderstorm,
co!d r sleet storm, or hot weather could be summoned, In summer a
torrential ram, heat wave, hail storm, etc, can be coded for. In autumn, hot
or cold weather, fog, sleet, etc. could be summoned. Winter allows great
cold, blizzard, or thaw conditions to be summoned, Hurricane-force winds
can be summoned near coastal regions in ihe late winter or early spring.
The summoned weather is not under the control of the druid. It might last
but o single lurn in [he cose of o tornado, or for hours or even days in other
cases. The area of effect likewise varies from about 1 square mile to 100 or
more squore miles. Note that several druias can act in concert to greatly
affect weather, controlling winds and/or working jointly To summon very
extreme weather conditions. Within 4 turns ofter Ihe spell is cast, the trend
of the weather to come will be apparent, i.e., clearing skies, gusts of warm
or hot air, a chill breeze, overcast skies, etc. Summoned weather will
arrive 6 to 17 turns (dl2 + 5} after the spell is cast. Anything less than
greater mfst/etoe as the material component will sharply curtail the

MAGIC-USER SPELLS

Notes Regarding Magic-User Spells r

Magic-users employ a greater variety of material components than do
other character classes employing spells. i<e* clerics and drgids. Some of
ihe required components will be difficult to find and/or expensive, but
alternative spells can always be chosen.

The relatively short casting time for those spells with a material
component assumes that the magic-user has decided upon which spell he
or she will employ, and the material or materials needed are ai hand in
the numerous pockets and folds of the magic-user's garb. If this is not the
case, there will be a delay commensurate to the situation. It has been
recommended to ihe referee ihai actual time relate to the game time in
such situations if at all possible, if it takes 6 seconds to decide on which
spell to cast, 1 segment of the round Is gone. Having to search through a
pock to locate some component is as good as wasting 5 segments — 30

Substitute materials might be allowed. This Is up to your Dungeon Master.
It should be noted that such substitution could affect spell ronge, duration,
area of effect, effect, etc.

In general, reversible or multiple application spells require the magic-user
to determine which form he or she is memorizing prior to the adventure.
Consult your referee m this regard.

Costing Time: 1 segment
Saving Throw: Neg.

Explonotion/Description: This spell couses instant growth of o creature or
object. Enlargement causes increase in both size and weight. It can be cast
upon only a single creature or objecl. Spell range is W* for each level of
experience of the magic-user, and its duration is 1 turn per level of
experience of the spell caster. The effect of the en/orgemenr spell is to
increase ihe size of a living creature {or a symbiotic or community entity)
by 20% per level of experience of the magic-user, with a maximum
additional growth of 2QO%. The effect on objects Is one-half that of
creotures, i.e. )0% per level to a 100% maximum addiiional enlargemenr.
The crealure or object musi be seen in order to effect the spell. The
maximum volume of living material which can be initially affected is 10
cubic feet — for non-living matter, 5 cubic feel — per level of the magic-
user. While magicol properties ore not increased by this spell — a huge
-h i sword is still only +1, a staff-sized wand is still only capable of its
normal functions, o giont-saed potion merely requires a greater fluid
intake to make its mogical effects operate, etc. — weight, moss and
strength are. Thus, a table blocking a door would be heavier and more
effective; o hurled stone would have more mass (ond be more hurtful
providing en /org em en f look place just prior io impact); chains would be
more massive; doors thicker; o thin line turned to a sizable, longer rope;
and so on. Likewise, a person 12' tall would be os on ogre, while on 16' toll
person would octually be a gianl for the duration of the spell. The reverse

smaller in the same ratios as the regular spell application functions.
Unwilling victims of Ihe spell, or its reverse, are entitled to o saving throw,

Saving Throw: Neg,

Explanation/Descripiion: A familiar is of certain benefit to o magic-user, os
the creature adds to the spell caster's hit points, H conveys its sensory
powers to its master, and it can converse with and will serve os a
guord/scoul/spy as well. However, ihe magic-user has no control over
what sorr of creature will answer the summoning, or if any at all will come,
and the power of the conjuration is such that it can be attempted but once
per year, At such time as the magic-user determines to find a familiar, he
or she must stoke up a brass brazier with charcoal, and when this is
burning well, add 100 g.p. worth of incense, herbs {basil savory, and
catnip for sure), and fat. When these items are burning, the spell easier
begins his or her incantation, ond it must be continued until the familiar
comes or the casting time is finished. Your referee will secretly determine
all resufts. The magic-user has absolutely no control over what sort of o
creature appears to become his or her familiar. This will be determined on
the table below:

Die

Roll (d20) Familiar Sensory Powers

1-4 cot, block excellent night vision & superior hearing

5-6 crow excellent vision

7-8 hawk very superior distance vision

9-10 owl, screech night vision equals human daylight visual

'Subtract 1 from the die score for each 3 levels of experience
of the spell caster, and if the score is 15 or less roll again
using d!6, and if o 16 is rolled then the result is final.

If a score of 15 is rolled, use the table below for a special familiar:

Normal familiars have 2-4 hit points ond ormor class of 7 (due to size,
speed, etc.). Each is abnormally intelligent and totally faithful to Ihe
magic-user whose familiar ki becomes. The number of the familiar's hit
points is added to the hil point total of the magic-user when it is within 12"
of its master, but if the familiar should ever be killed, the magic-user will
permanently lose double that number of hit points

If a special familiar is Indicated, details of the powers it conveys are given

for purposes of this spell. Any creature viewing fools gofd Is entitled to a

for every level of the magic-user the creature must add 1 to his dice score,
so it becomes unlikely that fools gold wifl be detected if it was created by o
high level caster, tf the "gold" is struck hard by an abject of cold- wrought
iron, there is a slight chance it will revert to its natural state, depending on
ihe material component used to create the "gold": if a SO g.p. citrine is
powdered and sprinkled over the metal to be changed, the chance that
cold Iran will return it to its true nature is 30%; if a 100 g,p, amber stone is
powdered, there is a 25% chance that iron will dispel the dweomer; if a
500 g.p. topaz is powdered, the chance drops to 10%; and if a 1,000 g.p.
oriental (corundum) topaz is powdered, there is only a 1 % chance thai the

creatures within the area of effect to forget the events of the previous
round (1 minute of time previous to ihe utterance of the spell). For every 3
levels of experience of the spell caster another minute of past time is for-
gotten. Naturally, forget in no way negates any charm, suggestions,
geases, quests, or similar spells, but it is possible that the creature who
caused such magic to be placed upon the victim of a forget spell could be
forgotten by this means. From 1-4 individual creatures can be affected by
the spell, at the discretion of the caster. If only 1 is to be affected, the
recipient saves versus magic at -2 on the dice; if 2 ore spell objects, they
save ot -1; and if 3 or 4 are to be made to forger by this dweomer, they
save normally. A clerical heal or restoration spell, specially cast for this

course, the invisible creoture is not magically silenced with respect to

noises normal to it. The speil remains in effect uniil it is magically broken
or dispelled, or the magic-user or the other recipient cancels it or until he,
she or it attacks any creature. Thus r the spell caster or recipient could open
doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, etc., but if any form of attack is made, the
invisible creature immediately becomes visible, olthough this will allow
the first attack by the creature because of the former invisibility. Even the
allies of the spell recipient cannot see the invisible creature, or his, her or
its gear, unless these allies can normally see invisible things or employ
magic to da so. Note that all highly intelligent creatures with 10 or more hit
dice, or levels of experience, or the equivalent in intelligence/dice/levels

Leomund f Trap (Illusion/Phantasm)

Level: 2
Range: Touch
Duration: Permanent
Area of Effect: Object touched

Components: V, 5, M
Casting Time; 3 rounds
Saving Throw. None

Explanation/Description: This false trap is designed to fool the dwarf
and/or thief attempting to pilfer or otherwise steal the spell caster's goods.
It enables ihe magic-user to place a dweomer upon any small mechanism
or device such as a lock, hinge, hasp, screw-on cap, ratchet, etc. Any
examination by a character able to detect traps will be 30% likely to note
the leomund's Trop and believe it to be real. This probability reduces by
4% for each level of experience of the examiner beyond the first. If the
supposed "trap" is then to be removed, it is only 20% likely that the
creature attempting it will believe he or she has succeeded, +4%
probability per level of experience of the remover. Of course, the spell is
illusory, nothing will happen if the trap is ignored, and its primary purpose
is to frighten away thieves or make them waste precious time. The
material component of the spell is a piece of iron pyrite touched to the
object to be "trapped". Only one Leomund's Trap may be placed within a
50' by 50" area.

user, he or she can move vertically oi o rote of 20' per round. If cast upon
another creature, the magic-user can levitate it at a maximum vertical
movement of W per round. Horizontal movement is not empowered by
this spell, but Ihe recipient could push along the face of a cliff, for
example, to move laterally. The spell caster can cancel the spell as
desired. If the recipient of the spell is unwilling, that creature is entitled to
a saving throw to determine if the levitate spell affects it. The material
component of this spell is either a small leather bop or a piece of golden
wire bent into a cup shape with a long shank on one end.

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cost, the magic-user empowers

speaks Ihe message which the spell caster imparted upon the occurrence
of a specified event. The mogk mouth can speak any message of 25 words
or less in a language known by the spell caster, over a 1 turn period from
start ro finish, ft connot speak magic spells. The mouth moves to the words
articulated, so if ft is placed upon a sroiue, for example, the mouth of the
statue would actually move and appear to speak. Of course. Ihe magic
maufh can be placed upon a tree, rock, door or any other object excluding
intelligent members of the animal or vegetable kingdoms. The spell will
function upon specific occurrence according to Ihe command of the spell

Components: V f S
Casting Time: 2 segment
Saving Throw: None

Explanation/Description: When a mirror image spell is invoked, the spell
caster causes from 1 to 4 exact duplicates of himself or herself lo come into
being around his or her person. These images do exactly what the magic-
user does, and as the spell causes a blurring and slight distortion when it is
effected, it is impossible for opponents to be certain which are the
phantasms and which is the aclual magic-user. When an image is struck by
a weapon, magical or otherwise, it disappears, bui any other existing
images remain intact until struck. The images seem lo shift from round to
round, so that if the actual magic-user is struck during one round, he or she
cannot be picked out from amongst his or her images the next. To
determine the number of images which appear, roll percentile dice, and
add 1 to the resulting score for each level of experience of the magic-user;
25 or less = 1 mirror image, 26-50 = 2 r 51-75 = 3, 75 or more = 4 At the
expiration of the spell duration all images wink out.

of the magic -user casting the spell, there is an additional 2% strength
reduction, so that at 4th level, strength loss is 27%. Range and duration of
the spell are also dependent upon the level of experience of the spell
caster For example, if a creature is struck by a ray of enfeebiemenr, it wtll
lose the appropriate percentage of hit points of damage it scores on
physical attacks (missiles, thrusting/cutting/crushing weapons, biting,
clawing, goring, kicking, constriction, etc.). Your referee will determine

spherical volume. [The area which is covered by the fireball is a total
volume of roughly 33,000 cubic feel (or yards)]. Besides causing damage
to creatures, the frrebolJ ignites all combustible materials within its burst

stand winds up to 50 m.p.h. without being harmed, but wind force greater
than thai will destroy it. The interior of the rrny hut is a hemisphere, ond
the spell easier can illuminate it dimly upon command, or extinguish the
light as desired. Note that although the force field is opaque from positions
outside, it is transparent from within. In no way will Leamund's Tiny Hut

Hold Person (Enchantment/Charm)

Level: 3 Components: V

Range: 12" Casting Time: 3 segments

Duration: 2 rounds/ieve/ Saving Throw: Neg.

Area of Effect: One to four persons

Explanation/Description: Similar to the second level cleric hold person
(q.v), ihis spell immobilizes creatures, within range, as designated by ihe
magic-user. If three or four persons are attacked, their saving throws are
normal, but if two are attocked, their saving throws are made at -1 ; and if
only one creature is attacked, the saving throw versus the hold person
spell is made at -3 on ihe die. Partial negation of a hold person spell, such
as would be possible by a ring of spelt turning, causes the spell to function
as a slow spell (q,v,) unless ihe saving throw is successful. Creatures
affected by the spell ore: brownies, dryads, dwarves, elves, gnolls,
gnomes, goblins, half-elves, halflings, half-ores, hobgoblins, humans,
kobolds, lizard men, nixies, ores, p.xies, sprites, and troglodytes.

Duration: 72 firms 4- 6 turns/level Saving Throw: None
Area of Effect: Creature touched

Explonation/Description: By means of this spell the mogic-user enables ihe
recipient of infravision io see light in the infrared spectrum. Thus,
differences in heat wave radiations can be seen up to 6". Note that slrong
sources of infrared radiation [fire, lanterns, torches, etc.) tend to blind or
cosi "shadows" [ust as such light does with respect to normal vision, so the
infravision is affected and does not function efficiently in the presence of
such heat sources. (Invisible creatures are not usually detectable by
rnfrovfsron, as ihe infrared light waves are affected by invisibility, just as
those of ihe ultraviolet and normal spectrums are.) The material
component of ihis spell is either a pinch of dried carrot or an agate.

Lightning Bolt (Evocation)

Level: 3 Components: V, $, M

Range: 4" 4 I'Vlevel Costing Time: 3 segments

Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: ti

Area of Effect: Special

Explanation/Description; Upon costing this spell, the magic user releases a
powerful stroke of electrical energy which causes damage equal to 1 six-
sided die (d6) for each level of experience of the spell caster to creatures
within its area of effect, or 50% of such damage to such creatures which
successfully save versus the attack form. The range of ihe bolt is the
location of Ihe commencement of the stroke, i.e. if shot to 6", the bolt
would extend from this point to n inches further distance. The lightning
bott will set fire to combustibles, sunder wooden doors, splinter up to \*
thickness of stone, and melt metals with a low melting point (lead, gold,
copper, silver, bronze). Saving throws must be made for objects which
withstand the full force of a stroke (cl fireball). The area of Ihe lightntng
holt's effeci is determined by ihe spell caster, just as its distance is. The
stroke can be either a forking boll 1 " wide and 4" long, or a single bolt W*
wide and 8" long r If a 12th level magic-user cast the spell ot its moximum
range, 16" in this case, the stroke would begin at 16" and flash outward
from there, as a forked bolt ending at 20" or o single one ending at 24". If
the full length of the stroke is not possible due to the interposition of a non-
conducting barrier (such as o stone wall), the lightning bolt will double
ond rebound towards its caster, its length being the normal total from
beginning to end of stroke, damage caused to interposing barriers
notwithstanding. Exomple: An 8" stroke is begun at a range of 4", but the
possible space in the desired direction is only 3 so ihe boll begins at
the 3 '/a" maximum, and it rebounds 8" in the direciron of its creator. The
material components of the spell are a bit of fur and an amber, crystal or
glass rod.

until struck by on opponent — unless the spell coster causes the illusion 1o
read appropriately — or until the magic-user ceases concentration upon
the spell (due to desire, moving, or successful attack which couses
damage). Creatures which disbelieve the phantasmal force gain o saving
throw versus the spell, and if they succeed, they see it for what il is ond
add -M to associates' saving throws if this knowledge can be
communicated effectively. Creatures not observing the spell effect are
immune until they view it. The spell can create ihe illusion of any object,
or creature, or force, as long as it is within the boundaries of the spell's

Saving Throw: Neg.

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cost by the magic-user, he or
she influences the actions of the chosen recipient by u tie ranee of a few
words — phrases, or a sentence or two — suggesting a course of action
desirable to the spell coster. The creature to be influenced must, of course,
be able to understand the magic- user's suggestion, i.e., it must be spoken
in a language which ihe spell recipient understands. The suggestion must
be worded in such o manner as to make the action sound reasonable; a
requesr asking the creature to stab itself, throw itself onto a spear,
immolate itself, or do some other obviously harmful act will automatically
negate the effect of the spell. However, a suggestion that a pool of acid
was actually pure water, and o quick dip would be refreshing, is another
matter; or the urging thai a cessation of attack upon the magic-user's party
would benefit a red dragon, for the group could looi a rich treasure
elsewhere through co operative action, is likewise a reasonable use of the
spell's power. The course of action of a suggestion can coniinue in effect
for a considerable duration, such as in the cose of the red dragon
mentioned above. If the recipient creoture makes its saving throw, Ihe
spell has no effect. Note that a very reasonable suggestion will cause the
saving throw lo be made at a penalty (such as -1 , -2, etc. ) ot the discretion
of your Dungeon Master. Undeod are not subject to suggestion. The
material components of this spell are a snake's tongue ond either a bit of
honeycomb or a drop of sweet oil.

that this change will olso change its personality and mentality into thai of
the creature whose form it now possesses. For each 1 point of intelligence
of the creature polymorphed, subtract 5% from the base chance.
Additionally, for every hit die of difference between the original form and
the form li is changed into by the spell, the polymorphed creaiure must
adjust the base chance percentage by +/-5% per hit die below or above
its own number (or level in the case of characters). The chance for
assumption of the personality and mentality of the new form musi be
checked doily until the change takes place. (Note that all creatures
generally prefer their own farm and will not wi//rng/y stand the risk of
being subjected to this spell!) If a one hit die ore of 8 intelligence is
polymorphed into a white dragon with 6 hit dice, for example, it is 85%
(100% - [5% X 8 intelligence] + [(6 - 1 ) X S%] = BS%) likely to actually
become one in all respects, but in any case it will have the dragon's
physfcal and mental capabilities; and if it does not assume the personality
and mentality of a white dragon, it will know whal it formerly knew as
well. Another example: on 8th fevel fighter successfully polymorphed into
o blue drogon would know combat with weapons and be able to employ
ihem with prehensile dragon forepows if the fighter did not take on
drogon personality and mentality. However, the new form of the
polymorphed creature may be stronger than it looks, I.e. a mummy
changed to a puppy dog would be very tough, or a brontotaurus changed
to an ant would be impossible to squash merely from being stepped on by
a small creature or even a man-sized one The magic-user musi use o
dispel mogic spell !o change the po/ymorphed creature back to its original
form, and this loo requires a "system shock" saving throw. The material
component of this spell is a caterpillar cocoon.

Areo of Effect: The magic-user

Components: V

Casting Time: 3 segments

Saving Throw: None

Explanation/Description: When this spell is cost, the magic-user is able lo
assume the form of any creaiure — from as small as a wren to as large as o
hippopotamus — and iis form of locomotion as well. The spell does not
give the other abilities (attack, magic, etc), nor does it run the risk of
changing personality and mentality. No "sysiem shock" check is required.
Thus, a magic-user changed to an owl could fly, but his or her vision would
be human; a change to a black pudding would enable movement under
doors or along halls and ceilings, but not the pudding's offensive or
defensive capabilities. Naturally, the strength of the new form musi be
sufficient to allow normal movement. The spell caster can change his or
her form os often as desired, the change requiring only 5 segments.
Damage to the po/ymorphed form is computed os if it were inflicted upon
the magic-user, bui when the magic-user returns to his or her own form,
from 1 to 1 2 ( d 1 2 ) poi nts of damage ore restored.

elementols ore very strong — see ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS,
MONSTER MANUAL — typically having 16 hit dice (16dB), It is possible to
conjure up successive elemental* of different type if the spell coster has
memorized rwo or more of these spells. The lype of elemental to be
conjured must be decided upon before memorizing the spell. The

caster musl concentrate on ihe elemental doing his or her commands, or it
will turn on the magic-user and attack. The elementol, however, will not
cease o combat to do so, but it will avoid creatures when seeking its
conjurer. If ihe magic-user is wounded or grappled, his or her
concentration is broken. There is always o 5% chance thot the elemental
will lurn on its conjurer regardless of concentration, and Jhis check is made
ai the end of the second and each succeeding round. The elementol con
be controlled up to 3" distant per level of the spell coster. The elemental
remains until its form on Ihis plane is destroyed due to damage or the
spell s duration expires Note lhat water elementols are deslroyed if they

the area's dimensions to be distorted in either of two ways: 1 ) the area will
effectively be one-half the distance to those travelling over it, or 2) the

100' corridor could seem as if ii wos but 5' wide and 50' long, or \\ could
appear to be 20' wide and 200' long. When the spell duration has elapsed,
the elemental returns to its own plane. The true nature of an area affected
by distance distortion is absolutely undetectable to any creatures travelling
along it, alihough the area will radiate a dim dweomer, and a true seeing
spell will reveal thai an earth elemental Is spread within the area.

and hardware must be of platinum. If constructed of ivory, the metal
fittings of the chest may be of gold; and if the chest is fashioned from

of such a chest will never be less than 5,000 g.p. Once constructed, the
magic-user must hove a tiny replica (of the same maleriols and perfecl in

While touching Ihe chest and holding the tiny replica, ihe caster chanls the
spetl. This will cause the large chest to vanish Into the ethereal plane. The
chest can contain one cubic foot of material per level of the magic-user no
maiter what its apparent size. Living matter makes it 75% likely that the

Soving Throw: Special

Explanation/Description: Mogic jar is o very unusual spell. It enables the
magic user la take over the mind of the victim and thus control the
creature's body. In fact, if the body is human or humanoid, the magic-user
can even use the spells he or she knows. The possessor can call upon
rudimentary knowledge of the possessed, bui not upon the real
knowledge, I.e. a possessor will noi know the language or spells of the
possessed. The spell coster transfers his or her life force to a special
container (a large gem or crystal), and from this mogic \or the life force
can sense and aitock any creaiure within the spell range radius, but what
the creature is, is not determinable from the magic jar. The special life
force receptacle must be within spell range of the magic-user's body at the
time of spell casting. Possession takes place only if the victim fails to make
the required saving throw. Failure to possess a victim leaves the life force
of the magic-user in the magic for. Possession attempts require 1 round
each. If the body of the spell caster is destroyed, the life force in the magic
\or is not harmed, If the magic far is destroyed, the life force is snuffed out.
Returning to the real body requires 1 round, and can only be done from a
mogre far in spell range of the body. The saving throw versus o magic far
spell is modified by comparing combined intelligence and wisdom scores
(intelligence only in non-human or non-humanoid creatures) of the
magic-user and victim,

Negative 9 or + +4
Negative 8 to 6 +3
Negative 5 to 3 +2
Negative 2 to 0 +1
Positive 1 to 4 0
Positive 5 to 8 *}
Positive 9 to 12 -2

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the magic-user summons
up a phontom watchdog which only he or she can see. He or she may then
command it to perform as guardian of a passage, room, door, or similar
space or portal. The phantom watchdog will immediately commence a
loud barking if any creature larger than a cat approaches the place it
guards. As the Faithful Hound is able to detect invisible, astral ethereal,
out of phase, duo-dimensional, or similarly non- visible creatures, It is an
excellent guardian. In addition. If the intruding creature or creatures allow
their backs to be exposed to the phantom watchdog, it will deliver a
vicious attack as if it were a 10 hit dice monster, striking for 3-1 6 hit points
of damage, and being able to hit oppanenis of all sorts, even those
normally subject only to magical weapons of +3 or greater The Faithful
Hound cannot be attacked, but II can be dispelled. Note, however, thoi the
spell caster can never be more than 3" distant from the area that the
phantom watchdog is guarding, or the mogic is automatically dispelled.

reshape a stone door, perhaps, so as to escape imprisonment, providing
the volume of stone involved was within the limits of the area of effect.
While stone coffers can be thus formed, secret doors made, etc., the
fineness of detail is not great. The material component of this spell is soft
clay which must be worked into roughly the desired shape of the stone

magic-user teleports a moximurn weight of 7,000 g,p. (700 pounds). If the
destination area is very familiar to the magic-user (he or she has o clear
mental picture through actual proximity to and studying of the area) it is
unlikely that there will beany error in arriving exactly in the place desired.
Lesser known areas (those seen only magically or from a distance)
increase the probability of error. Unfamiliar areas present considerable
peril. This is demonstrated below:

when the destination is very familiar, and as high os 32" if ihe destination

user if the area into which he or she teleports to is solid. Note that there is
no possibility of tele porting to an area of empty space, I.e. a substantial
area of surface must be there, whether a wooden floor, a stone floor,

12' wide and 20' high wall, for example, to completely close a 10' X 16'

foundation (cf. woff of iron); however, it must merge with an existing
stone formation. It can be used to bridge a chosm, for instance, or as a
ramp. The wall is permanent unless destroyed by a dispel magic spell or by
normal means such as breaking, chipping or a disintegrate spell. The

first, simply roll Ihe dice to see how many creatures of less than 2 hit dice
are affected, kill all these, then use the conversion to kill all 2 to 4 hit dice
monsters, etc. If not enough of the number remains to kill the higher
levels, they remain. This system can be reversed by applying it to higher
hit dice victims first Example; The 4d20 when rolled indicate a total of 53,
20 of this is used to kill one 6 + 4 to 8 + 3 die creature (20 X ,05 = 1), 16

Enchant An Hem (Conjuration/Summoning)

Level: 6
Range: Touch
Duration: Special
Area of Effect: One item

Components: V, 5, M
Costing Time: Special
Saving Throw: Meg.

Explanation/Description: This is a spell which musl be used by a magic-
user planning to create a magic item. The enchant an item spelt prepares
the obfect to accept the magic to be placed upon or within it. The item to
be magicked must meet the following tests: 1) it must be in sound and
undamaged condition; 2) the item must be the finest possible, considering
its nature, i.e. crafted of the highest quality material and with the finest
workmanship; and 3) its cost or value must reflect the second test, and in
most cases the item must hove a raw materials cost in excess of 100 g.p.
With respect to requirement 3), it is not possible to apply this lest to items
such as ropes, leather goods, cloth, and pottery not normally embroidered,
bejeweled, tooled, carved, ond/or engraved; however, if such work or
materials can be added to an item without weakening or harming its
norma I functions, these are required for the iiem to be magicked.

The item to be prepared must be touched manually by the spell coster. This
touching musl be constant and continual during the casting time which is a
base 16 hours plus an additional 8-64 hours (as ihe magic-user may never
work over 8 hours per day, and haste or any other spells will nol alter time
required in any way, this effectively means thot casting lime for this spell
is 2 days + 1-8 days). All work must be uninterrupted, and during rest
periods the item being enchanted must never be more than 1' distant from
the spell caster, for if ll Is, the whole spell is spoiled and must be begun
again. (Note thai during rest periods absolutely no other form of magic
may be performed, and ihe magic-user must remain quiet and in
isolation.) At the end of the spell, the cosier will "know" that the item is
ready for the final test. He or she will then pronounce the final magical
syllable, and if the item makes a saving throw (which is exactly the same
as thot of the magic-user who magicked it) versus magic, the spell is
completed. (Note that the spell caster's saving throw bonuses also apply to
the item, up to but nol exceeding +3.) A result of 1 on Ihe die (d20)
always results in failure, regardless of modifications. Once the spell is
finished, the magic-user may begin to place the desired dweomer upon
the item, and the spell he or she plans to place on or within the item must
be cast within 24 hours or the preparatory spell fades, and the Item must

Each spell subsequently cast upon an object bearing an enchant an item
spell requires 4 hours + 4-8 additional hours per sped level of the magic
being cast. Again, during casting Ihe item must be touched by the magic-
user, and during rest periods it must always be withfn V of his or her
person, This procedure holds true for any additional spells placed upon ihe
item, and each successive dweomer must be begun within 24 hours of the
last, even if any prior spell failed

MAGIC- USER SPELLS (6TN LEVEL}

MAGIC* USER SPELLS (6TH LEVEL}

No magic placed on or into an item is permanent unless a permanency
spell is used as a finishing touch, and this always runs a risk of draining a
point of constitution from the magic-user casting ihe spell. Il Is also
necessary to poinl out lhat while it Is possible to tell when ihe basic
(enchanf on if em) spell succeeds, it is not possible to tell if successive
castings actually take, for each must make the same sort of saving throw as
the item itself made. Naturally, items that are charged — rods, stoves,
wands, javelins of lightning, ring of wishes, etc. — can never be made
permanent. Scrolls or magic devices can never be used to enchant an item
or cast mogic upon an object so prepared.

The material component(s) for this spell vary according to both ihe nature
of the item being magicked and successive magicks to be cost upon it. For
example, a doak of displacement might require the hides of 1 or more
dlsplacer beasts, o sword meant to slay dragons could require Ihe blood
and some other pan of ihe type(s) of dragon(s) it will be effective ogainsi,
and a ring of shoofing stars might require pieces of meteoriies and the
horn of a kt-rin. These specifics, as well as other information pertaining to
this spell, are known by your Dungeon Master.

Saving Throw: None

Explanation/Description: A geas spell places a magical command upon
Ihe creature (usually human or humanoid) to carry out some service, or
refrain from same action or course of activity, as desired by the spell
caster. The creature must be intelligent, conscious, and under its own
volition. While a geas cannot compel a creature to kill Itself, or to perform
acts which are likely to result in certain death, it can cause almost any
other course of action. The spell causes the geased creature to follow the
instructions until the geas is completed. Failure to do so will cause the
creature to grow sick and die within 1 to 4 weeks. Deviation from or
twisting of the instructions causes corresponding loss of strength points
until the deviation ceoses. A geas can be done oway with by a wish spell,
but a dispel magic or remove curse will nol negate if. Your referee will
instruct you as to any additional details of a geas, for its costing and
fulfillment are tricky, and an improperly cast geas is null and void
immedioiely {cf. wish).

caster must know the name of the being at whom he or she will direct the
energy. Prior to actual utterance of o spmrwracfc spell the magic-user must
prepare an illuminated sheet of vellum, carefully inscribed in special inks
made from powdered rubies and the ichor of a slain demon of type I, If, or
III and covered with gold leaf In a continuous border. The spell caster musi
personally prepare this document, including the being's name thereon.
(This will require from 8^32 hours of time ond cost 1,000 g.p. lor vellum,
special pens, gold leaf and other miscellaneous materials alone; the cost
of ihe powdered rubies is a minimum of 5,000 g,p. for each document.) If
the demon < devil, or other powerful being from a nether outer plane is
present in some form (ond not possessing another creature's body
instead), the magic-user can then begin actual spell incontalion.

Immediately upon beginning the reading of the document, the being
named will be rooted to the spot unless tt makes its magic resistance
percentage (adjusted for the level of the magic-user] as a saving throw;
and even if such a saving throw is made, the monster feels greatly
uncomfortable, and if it has not been magically forced to Ihe locale and so
held there, it is 90% likely to retreat to its own (or another) plane, as the
named being is powerless to attack the magic-user while He or she is
reading the spell 1 document. This first part of the documeni continues for 1
full round, with the discomfort to the named being becoming greoier at
the end. During ihe second minute of the incantation, the being named
undergoes acute pain and loses 1 hit point per hit die it possesses. At the
end of ihis round of reading, the being is in wracking pain. The third and
final round of utterance of the condemnation will cause a loss to the being
of 50% of its existing hit points, horrible pain, ond ai ihe end consign it to
some confined space on its own plane — there to remain in torture for a
number of years equal to the level of the magic-user who prepared the
document.

Obviously, the being so dealt with will be the sworn foe of the magic -user
forever afterwards, so the magic-user will be loath to finish the spell but
rather use il as a threat 1o force submission of the being. Each round of
reading will cause the being forced to listen to be a cumulative 25% likely
to concede even without any other offerings or payment.

Level: 6
Range: 0

Duration: J round/level
Area of Effeci: Persona/

Components: V,S,M
Casting Time: 6 segments
Saving Throw: None

Explanation/Description : Tenser's Transformation is a sight guaranteed to
astound any creature not a wore of its power, for when the magic -user
casts the dweomer, he or she undergoes a startling transformation. The
size and strength of the magic-user increase to heroic proportions, so he or
she becomes a formidable fighting machine, for the spell causes the caster
to become a berserk fighter! The magic-user's hit points double, and all
damage he or she sustains comes first from the magical points gained; so
if damage does not exceed original hit points, none is actually taken, bui if
damage beyond the additional amounl is sustained, each point counts as 2
(double damage). The armor class of the magic-user is a full 4 factors
better than that he or she possessed prior to casting the spell (AC 10 goes
to 6, AC 9 to 5, AC 8 to 4, etc. ), all attacks are at a level equal io those of a
fighter of the same level as the magic-user (i.e., ihe spefl caster uses Ihe
combat table normally restricted to fighters), and although he or she can
employ a dagger only in attacking, damage inflicted by the weapon is at
-r-2 additional hit paints, and 2 such attacks per round are made by ihe
magic -user. However, it is worth noting that this spell must run its full
course, and ihe magic-user will continue attacking until all opponenis are
slain, he or she is killed, the magic is dispelled, or the Transformation
duration expires, The material component for casting this dweomer Is a
potion of heroism (or superhero ism J which the mogic-user must consume
during the course of uttering the spell.

Explanation/Description: This perilous exercise in dweomer era eft
summons up a powerful demon of type IV, V, or VI, depending upon the
demon's name being known to the magic- user. Note thai this spell is not of
sufficient power to bring a demon of greater power, and lesser sorts are
not called as they have no known names. In any event, the spell caster
must know the name of the type IV, V, or VI demon he or she is
summoning. As the spetl name implies, the demon so summoned is most
angry and evilly disposed. The spell caster musi be within a arcle of

protection {or o thaumoturgic triangle with profecfiori from evil) and the
demon confined within o pentagram (circled penfacle) if he or she is ro
avoid being slain or carried off by the summoned cocodemon. The
summoned demon can be treated with as follows:

1) The magic-user can require the monster to perform a desired
course of action by force of threat and pain of a spintwrack
spell (q.v), allowing freedom whenever the demon performs
the full extent of the service, and forcing the demon la pledge
word upon It, This is exceedingly dangerous, as a minor error
in such □ bargain will be seized upon by the monster to
reverse the desired outcome or simply to kill and devour the
summoner Furthermore, the demon will bear great enmity for
the magic- user forever offer such forced obedi ence, so the
spell caster hod better be most powerful and capable.

2) By tribute of fresh human blood and the promise of 1 or more
human sacrifices, the summoner can bargain with the demon
for willing service. Again, the spell caster is we! I advised ro
hove ample protection and power lo defend himself or
herself, os the demon might decide the offer is insufficient —
or It is easier to enjoy the summoner's slow death — and
decide not to accept the bargain as offered. Although the
demon will have lo abide by a pledge, os his name is known,
he will have to hold only to the exact word of the
arrangement, not to the spirit of the agreement. On the other
hand, only highly evil magic-users are likely to attempt to
strike such a bargain, ond the summoned cocodemon might
be favorably disposed towards such o character, especially if
he or she is also chaotic.

3} The summoned demon can be the object of o trap fhe sou/
spell (q.v,),, In this cose, the magic-user will not speak wilh or
bargain for the demon's services, although the cocodemon
might be eager to reach an accord with the d we o m e rcraef te r
before he is forced into imprisonment. The trapping of the
demon is risky only if proper precautions have not been token,
far failure to confine the monster usually means only that it is
oble to escope to its own plane. Once trapped, the demon
must remain imprisoned until the possessor of his object of
confinement breaks it and frees him, ond this requires one
service from the now loosed monster. If the individual(s)
freeing the demon foils to demand a service when the mon-
ster asks what is required of him, the demon is under no con-
straint not to slay the liberator(s) on the spot, but if o service is
required, the creature must first do his best to perform it and
then return to the Abyss.

The duration of service of any demon must be limited unless the demon is
willing to serve for an extended period. Any required course of action or
service which effectively requires an inordinate period of lime to perform,
or is impossible to perform, is 50% likely to free the demon from his
obligations and enable him to be unconstrained fn his vengeance upon
the spell caster ff he or she is not thereafter continually protected, for a
demon so freed can remain on the plane it wos summoned to for os long
as 666 days.

The demon summoned will be exceptionally strong, i.e. 8 hit points per hit

die.

Casting Time is 1 hour per type (numeric) of the demon lo be summoned, If
there is any interruption during this period, the spell fails. If ihere is an
interruption while the cocodemon is summoned, it Is 10% probable that it
will be oble to escape its boundaries and attack the magic-user, this
percentage rising cumulatively each round of continued interruption.

Each demon is entitled to a saving throw versus this summoning spell, if o
score higher than the level of the magic-user summoning is rolled with 3d6
{2dl0 with respect la type VI demons), that particular spell foiled lo bring
the desired demon. When this occurs, it is certain that the named demon is
imprisoned or destroyed or the name used was not perfectly correct, so the
speil coster will have to calf upon another name to bring forth o
cocodemon.

The components of this spell ore 5 flaming black candles; a brazier of hot
coals upon which must be burned sulphur, bat hairs, lard, sool, mercuric-
nitric acid crystals, mandrake root, alcohol, and a piece of parchment with
the demon's name Inscribed in runes Inside a pentode; and a dish of
blood from some mammal (preferably a human, of course} placed inside
the area where the cocodemon is to be held.

Area of Effect: One smalt object

Exp la not ion/ Description: When ihfs spell is cosl, the magic-user releports
some desired item from virtually any location directly to his or her hand.
The object must be singular, can be no larger than a sword is long, have no
more mass ond weight than o shield (about 75 g.p. weight), and It must be
non-living. To prepare this spell, the magic-user must hold o gem of not
less than 5,000 g.p. value in his or her ha nd and utter al I but the final word
of the conjunction. He or she then must hove this same gem available to

word while crushing the gem, and the desired Item Is transported Instantly
into the spell caster's fight or left hand os he or she desires. The item must,
of course, hove been previously touched during ihe initial incantation and
specifically named, and only that particular Item will be summoned by the
spell. If the item is in the possession of another crealure, the spell will not
work, but the casfer wilt know who the possessor is and roughly where he,
she, or it is located when the summons is cast. Items con be summoned
from other planes of existence, but only if such items are not in the
possession (nor necessarily physical grasp) of another creature. For eoch
level of experience above the 14th, the magic-user is able lo summon a
desired item From 1 plane further removed from the plane he or she is
upon at the time the spell Is cast. I.e. 1 plane ai 14th Level, bur 2 at 15th, 3
or 16th, etc. Thus, a magic-user of loth level could effect the spell even If
the item desired was on the second layer of one of the outer planes, but at
14th level the magic-user would be able ro summon the item only if it
were on one of the Elemental Plones or the Astral or the Ethereal Plane.

going through The space between a door and Its frame is a simple matter.
The magic-user can perform all actions on a normal basis He or she can
turn and become invisible, move in this state, and appear again next
round and cast a spell, disappearing on the fallowing round. Note that
when turned the magic- user cannot be affected by any form of attack, but
when visible he or she is subjeci to triple the amount of damage normal
for an attack form, i.e. a dagger thrust would inflict 3-12 hit points of
damage if H struck a duo~d/menstonol magic-user. Furthermore, the
magic-user has a portion of his or her existence on the Astral Plane when
the spell Is in effect, and he or she is subject to possible notice from

enameled and gem-studded at an overage cost of 5,000 to 10,000 g.p.) and

Explanation/Description: A limited wish is a very potent but difficuli spell
It will fulfill literally, but only partially or for a limited duration, the
utterance of the spell caster. Thus, the actuality of the post, present or
future might be altered [out possibly only for ihe magic-user unless ihe
wording of the /»rmred wish is most carefully stated) in some limited
manner. The use of o limited wish will not substantially change major
realities, nor will it bring wealth or experience merety by asking. The spell
can, for example, restore same hit points (or all hit points for a limited
duration) lost by the magic -user. It con reduce opponent hit probabilities
or damage, it can increase duration of some magical effect, it can cause a
creature to be favorably disposed to the spell caster, and so on [cf. wish).
The limited wish can possibly give a minor clue to some treasure or magic
item. Greedy desires will usually end in disaster for the wisher. Casting
time is the actual number of seconds — at six per segment — to phrase the
iimited wish.

same hit probability as a sword wielded by a 7th level fighter. The sword

Saving Throw; Special

Explanation/Description: When a statue dweomer is cast, the magiouser
or other creature is apparently turned to solid stone, along with any
garments and equipment worn or carried. The initial transformation from
flesh to stone requires 1 full round after ihe spell is cast. Thereafter the
creature can withstand any inspection and appear to be a stone stotue,
although a faint magic will be detected from the stone if it is checked for.
Despite being in this condition, the petrified individual can see, hear, and
smell normally. Feeling Is only as acute as that which will actually offecl
the gronite-hord suhstonce of the individual's body. I.e. chipping is equal
to a slight wound, but breaking off one of the statue's arms is another
matter. The individual under the magic of □ statue spell can return to
normal state in 1/6 of a segment, and then return to statue state in the
some period if he or she so desires, as long as ihe spell duration is in
effect. During the initial transformation from flesh to stone, the creoture

roll score for each point of his or her constitution score, so an 18
constitution indicaies ceriain success. Failure indicates system shock ond

equal in thickness to the door, whichever is greater. The maximum volume
of material which can be affected is 3 cubic feet per level of experience
Thus, both weight and volume limit the spell. A dispel magic which Is

Level: 8
Range; 3"

Duration: 12 tums/levei
Area of Effect; Special

Components: V, S. M
Casting Time: 6 rums
Saving Throw: Special

Explanation/Description: This spell allows the mogic-user to set up certain
vibrations which will tend to either repel or attroct a specific type of living,
intelligent creature or characters of a particular alignment. The mogic-user
must decide which effect is desired with regard to whoi creature or
alignment type before beginning the dweomercroefting, for the

components of each application differ. The spell cannot be cast upon
living creatures.

Antipathy: This dweomer causes the affected creature or alignment type to
feel an overpowering urge to leave the area or not touch the affected
item, if a saving throw versus magic is successful, the creature may
stay/touch the item, but the creature will feel very uncomfortable, and a
persistent itching will cause It to suffer the toss of 1 point of dexterity per
round ihe area or Item is remained in or touched, subject to o maximum of
4 points. Failure to save versus magic forces the creature/olignment type
to abandon the mogicked area or item, shunning it perrnanenily and never
willingly enter/touch it until the spell is removed or expires. The material
component for this application of the spell is a lump of alum soaked in

Sympathy. By costing the sympathy application of the spell, the mogic-user
can cause a particular type of creature or atignment of character to feel
elated and pleased to be in an orea or with the prospect of touching or
possessing an object or item. The desire to stay in the area or
touch/possess the magicked object/item will be overpowering, and unless
a saving throw versus magic is made, the creature or character will stay or
refuse to release the object. If the soving throw is successful, the creature
or character is released from the enchantment, but a subsequent saving
throw must be made from 1-6 turns later, and if this one foils, the affected
creature will return to the area or object. The material components of ihis
spell are 1 ,000 g.p. worth of crushed pearls and a drop of honey.

Note that the particular kind of creoture to be affected must be named
specifically. i.e. red dragons, hill giants, wererats, lammasu, catoblepos,
vampires, etc- Likewise, the specific alignment type for characters must be
named, i.e. chaotic evil, chaotic good, lawful neutral, neutral, etc.

if this spell is cast upon an area, o 10' per side cube can be mogicked per
level of experience of the mogic-user. If on objed or item is magicked,
only that single thing can be enchanted, but affected creatures/characters
save versus the magic thereon at -2<

Explanation/Description: This spell changes one object (living or
otherwise) into another. When used as a polymorph ofher or stone to flesh,
simply treat the spell as a more powerful version, with saving throws mode
at -4 on i he die. When it is cast in order to change other objects, the
duration of the spelt will depend on how radically removed the original
was from its magi eked state, as well as how different in size. This will be
determined by your Dungeon Waster by comparing:

kingdom — animal, vegetable, mineral
cross — mammals, bipeds, fungi, metals, spheres, etc.
relationship — twig is to tree, sand is to beach, etc
size — smaller, equal, larger

sKape — comparative resemblance of the original to the

polymorphed state
intelligence — particularly with regard to a change in which the end
product is mare intelligent

Change in Kingdom mokes the spell work for hours or turns, i.e. hours if
one removed, turns if two removed. Other changes likewise affect spell
duration. Thus, changing a lion to an andrasphins would be permanent,
but turning a turnip to a purple worm would be a change of only hours
duration; turning a tusk into on elephant would be permanent, but fuming
a twig Into a sword would be only a change of several lurns duration, All
pofymorphed objects radiate a strong magic, and if a dispel magic spell Is
used upon them, they wifl return to their natural form. Note that a stone to
Flesh, or Its reverse, will affect objects under this spell. The malarial
components of this spell are mercury, gum arable, and smoke. N.B.:

Trap The Soul (Conjuration/Summoning)

Level: 6
Ranger V*

Duration: Permanent until broken
Area of Effect: One creature

Components: V,S,M

Casting Ti me: Spec jo f + I segment

Saving Throw: Neg.

Explanation/Description: This spell is similar to the magic /or, except that
the trap the soul spell forces the subject creature's life farce (and tts
material body, if any) into a special prison magicked by the spell caster.
The subject of the spell must be seen by the caster, and the mag Ic- user
must know the subject's true name as well when the final word Is uttered.
Preparatory to the actual casting of the trap the sou/, the magic-user must
prepare ihe soul prison, a gem of 1 ,000 g,p. value for every hit die or level
of experience the creaiure whose soul is to be trapped possesses, i.e. it
requires a gem of 10,000 g.p„ volue to trap a 10 hit dice (or 10th level)
creature by placing on enchant on item spell upon it and ihen placing a
maze spell into the gem, thereby farming the prison for the soul to be
trapped. There are 2 manners in which the soul of the victim can be
imprisoned. The final word of the spell can be spoken when ihe creature is
within spell range, but this entitles It to exercise its magic resistance (if
any) and a sawing throw versus magic as well, and if the latter Is
successful, the gem shatters. The second method of soul trapping is far
more insidious, for it tricks the victim into accepting a trigger object
inscribed with the final spell word which will automatically place the
creature's soul into the trop. If this method is used. It will be necessary to
name the triggering item when the prison gem is mogicked, A sympathy
spell may be placed on the trigger Item* As soon as the subject creature
picks up or accepts the trigger item, its soul is outomaticofly transferred to
the gem, The gem prison will hold the soul trapped until time indefinite, or
until it is broken and ihe soul is released, allowing the material body to
reform. If the creature trapped is a powerful creature from another pi one
(and this could actually mean a character trapped by some inhabitant of
another plane of existence when the character Is not on the Prime Material
Plane), it can be required to perform a service immediately upon being
freed. Otherwise, the creature can go totally free once the gem
imprisoning it is broken.

ILLUSIONIST SPELLS

Not** Regarding Illusionist (Magk-Uier) Spells:

There are fewer illusion fst spells than there are magic-user spells, and
there is some duplication; at seventh level the list includes all first level
magic-user spells, several of which ore taken as if they were but one spell
of seventh level. The illusions of this das* grow progressively more
powerful as levels increase; the phantasms lake on some actual
substance, and even other sorts of spells used by illusionists are potent [cf
no/ kiiter, shades, prismatic spray).

There are some illusionist spelts which have no verbol (V) component.
Also, these spells typically need fewer material components than do those
of other classes. A notable exception is the vision spell which needs great
material outlay.

Explanai son/Description: When this spell is cast, the illusionist creates the

of the subject creature's subconscious mind into something which its
conscious mind can visualize — the most horrible beast. Only the spell
caster and the spell recipieni con see the phamasmaf killer, but if it
succeeds in scoring a hit, rhe victim dies (from fright). The beast attacks as
a 4 hit dice monster with respect to its victim. It is invulnerable to all
attacks, and it con pais through any barriers, for it exists only In the
beholder's mind. The only defense against a phantasmal killer is an
atiempt lo disbelieve, which con be tried but once, or slaying or rendering
unconscious the illusionist who cast the spell. Mote thai the saving throw
against this spell is not standard. The subject must roll three six-sided dice
(3d6) ond score a sum equal to or less than its intelligence ability score in

-1 per previous attack

resistance being checked first lo determine spell operation (or -1 to -5 on

bonus applies as a minus to the dice roll to match or score less than
intelligence.

If the subject of the attack by a phantasmal killer succeeds in disbelieving
and is wearing a helm of re/eparhy, Ihe beost con be lurned upon the
illusionist, and then he or she musi disbelieve it or be sub|eci lo its attack
and possible effects.

Level; 4
Range: 3"

Duration: I round/level
Area of Effect: 2" X 2"

Components: V,S
Costing lime: 4 segments
Saving Throw: Special

Explanation/Description: The shadow monsters spell enables the illusionist
to create semi-real phantasms of one or more monsters. The total hit dice
of the shadow monster or monsters ihus created cannot exceed the level of
experience of the illusionist; thus a 10th level illusionist can create one
creature which has 10 hit dice {in normal circumstances}, iwo which hove
5 hit dice (normally), etc. All shadow monsters created by one spell must
be of ihe same sort, i.e. hobgoblins, arcs, spectres, etc. They have 20% of
the hit points they would normally have. To determine Ihis, roll the
appropriate hit dtee and multiply by .20, any scare less than A is dropped

— in the case of monsiers with one (or fewer) hit dice, this indicates the
monster was not successfully created — and scores of .4 or greater are
rounded up to one hit point. If the creature or crea lures viewing the
shadow monsters foil their saving throw and believe Ihe illusion, the
shadow monsters perform as normal wilh respeci to armor class and attack
forms. If the viewer or viewers moke their saving throws, the shadow
monsters are armor class 10 and do only 20% of normal melee damage
(biting, clawing, weapon, etc.), dropping fraciionol damage less than .4 as
done with nil points. Example: A shadow monster drogonne attacks a
person knowing it is only quasi-real, The monster strikes with 2 claw
attacks and 1 bile, hitting as a 9 die monster. All 3 attacks htl, and the
normal damage dice are rolled: d8 scored 5, d8 scores 8, 3d6 scores 1 1 and
each fatal is mulliplied by ,2 (.2 X 5 = 1 , .2 X 8 = 1 .6 = 2, .2 X 1 1 = 2,2
= 2) and 5 hit paints of real damage are scored upon the victim.

SPELL CASTING

The costing of spells during the course of an adventure will be discussed at
length hereafter in the section of this book which deals with all aspects of
an expedition into underground or outdoors settings.

Each character able to cast spells can remember only a certain number at
any given level. (This number can be modified by magical means.) Once o
spell is casi, mot particular spell is wiped from Ihe mind, forgotten, but
another spell of the same type can still be remembered, i.e. the spell
caster can have several of ihe same spell memorized and prepared for,
within the number li mits for his or her particular class and level.

Most spells can be cast during the course of a single melee round,
although some — particularly high level ones — require more time.
Casting a spell requires certain actions, and if these are interrupted, the
spell cannoi be casi and il is losi from memory, A good example of this is a
magic- user about to cast a firebox spell being struck by an arrow when In
the midst of the spell. Magical silence or physical gagging will prevent
verbal (V) spell completran. Magical immobility prevents ony spell
casting. Physical restrain^ including grappling, grasping, binding, etc.
prevents proper somatic (S) spell completion, for gestures must be exact
and movements free ond as prescribed. Despite these restrictions, there is
no doubt that spells in general ore potent offensive and defensive
weapons, providing the coster does not hesitate, i.e. he or she must know
which spell Is being cast when the melee round begins.

As each spell is cast, il is crossed off the character's list of spells memorized
for that particular expedition. The same is irue for any material
components which are required for the spell cast; the components) musl
be ready ond Ihen crossed off as expended.

Scroll Spells: Use of scroti spells is similar to the casting of normal
(memorized) spells. They too disappear when read off the scroll, for their
magical properties and energies are bound up in the characters, runes,
signs, sigils, and words written for the particular spell. Being written, the
scroll spell requires no somatic at material components. The time required
to cast (read) a scroll spell is exactly that shown for ihe memorized spell.
Of course, this assumes the scroll is in hand ond ready to reod. In general,
scroll spells will be 12th level as regards range and duration and area of
effect. Notable variations occur in projectile attack spells (magic missile,

fireball, lightning bolt) which have variable strength. Other Information
regarding scrolf spalls will be given by your Dungeon Moster os the need

THE ADVENTURE

When you go on on adventure* you, and in all probability one or more
other characters, will go to explore some underground labyrinth or oreo of
land outdoors. Your Dungeon Master will have carefully prepared o mop
of the place you and your party are to enter, a map showing all
outstanding features of ihe place, with numbers and/or letters to key
encounter/speciaf mteresf areas. Your DM will give you certain
information prior to the adventure — you might have to osk questions of
the local populace, or you mighi have heard rumors or know of legends —
so your party can properly equip itself for the expedition, hire men-at-
arms, and obtain mounts or whotever in order 10 have the best possible
chance for success in dungeon or wi/derness setting. Of course, going
about a city or town might in itself be interesting, informative, and
dangerous, so a third son of odveniure can occur at any time, the.crty or
town adventure. These three major types of adventures have elements in

and the standard map-making equipment. Travel will be at a slow rate in
unknown areas, for your party wifJ be exploring,, looking for foes fo
overcame, and searching for new finds of lost temples, dungeons, and the
like. If the expedition continues for several days, there will be a need to
hum for game to provide food, unless some inhabited area is found — a
thorp, hamlet, village, or town — in which case your party will then be
able to have another short adventure.

Town Adventures: Cities, towns, and sometimes even large villages
provide the setting for highly Interesting, informative, and often hazardous
affairs and incidents. Even becoming an active character In a campaign
typically requires interaction wilh Ihe populace of the habitation, locating
quarters, buying supplies and equipment, seeking information. These
same activities in a completely strange town require forethought and skill.
Care must be taken in oil one soys and does. Questions about rank,
profession, god and alignment are perilous, and use of an alignment
tongue is socially repulsive In most places. There are usually beggars,
bandits, and drunks to be dealt with; greedy and grasping merchants and
informants to do business with; inquiring officials or suspicious guards to
be answered. The taverns house many potential helpful or useful

common and differences; so each will be described separately The
various elements of all sorts of adventures are given thereafter. Your
campaign referee has detailed information. Including charts, tables, and
matrices, so he or she will be completely equipped for conducting any sort
of adventure.

Dungeon Expeditions: Adventures Into the underworld mazes are the
most popular. The party equips itself and then sets off 10 enter and explore
the dungeons of some castle, temple or whatever. Light sources, poles for
probing, rope, spikes, and like equipment are the main tools for such
activity. And, since none of ihe porty will know the dungeon's iwtsts and
turns, one or more of the adventurers wilt have 10 keep a record, a map, of
where the party has been. Thus you will be able to find your way oui and
return for yet more adventuring. As your party is exploring and mapping,
movement will be slow, and it is wise to have both front and rear guards.
In the dungeon will be chambers and rooms — some inhobiied, some
empty; there will be traps to catch those unaware, tricks to fool the unwise,
monsters lurking to devour the unwary. The rewards, however, are great
— gold, gems, and magic items. Obtaining these will moke you better
able to prepare for further expeditions, more adept in your chosen
profession, more powerful in all respects. All thai is necessary is to find
your way in and out, to meet and defeat the guardians of the treasures, to
carry oui the wealth...

Outdoor Exploration: Adventuring into unknown lands or howling
wilderness is extremely perilous at best, for large bands of men, and
worse, might roam the area; there are dens of monsters, and trackless
wastes to contend with. Protracted expeditions ore. therefore, normolly
undertaken by higher level characters. Forays of limiled duration are
possible even for characters new to adventuring, and your DM might
suggest thai your party do some local expi oral ion — perhaps to find some
ruins which ore the site of o dungeon or to find a friendly clan of dwarves,
etc. Mounts are necessary, of course, as well as supplies, missile weapons,

characters, but they also contain clever and dangerous adversaries. Then
there are the unlit streets and alleys of the city ofter dork . . . And what
lies in wait in the deserted ruins of some lost ancient city? Meal and drink
for the doughty ADVANCED DADerf

Preparation for one of these adventures is highly important, and one can
lead directly into another sort altogether. Here are ihe basic considerations
you will need lo know to prepare your character for success.

Whatever you select to corry will hove both weight and volume (or bulk).
Equipment for adventuring is necessary, but too much is deadly. In order lo
be able to move with reasonable rapidity and freedom, the number of
items carried and apparel worn must suil encumbrance restrictions.
(Remember that the volume of something can be as critical as its weight,
i.e. 20 pounds of feathers in a sack are cumbersome.) To be useful, items
generally must be readily accessible, so this consideration must also be
borne in mind. Lastly, as the main purpose of adventuring Is to bring bock
treasure, provision for carrying out a considerable amount of material
must also be made. The table below gives you a guideline respecting
weight and bulk carried and how movement is affected:

Encumbrance

normal gear — aboui
350 and no great
bulk

heavy gear — armor
and/or equipment of
about 70# or fairly bulky

Movement

12" — subject can
run quickly

(such as plote armor)

encumbered ■ — ormor
and/or equipment
over 1050 weigh!
and/or (very) bulky

3" , 0 4" — no
trotting possible

Strength penalises or bonuses will modify these guidelines. Weight is
usually stated in gold pieces, tOgoid pieces equalling t# (pound). Volume
can only be calculated from known comparisons, os the size and shape of
objects varies from individual to individual, i.e. how big is a tapesiry?

MOVEMENT — TIME AND DISTANCE FACTORS

Movement rale is always shown by a numeral followed by the sign for
inches thus, 9". The number of inches moved is scaled to circumstances
and lime by modifying either the distance represented or rhe lime period
or bolh.

Movement in the Dungeon: The mavemeni distance in the dungeon is I "
to 10' over a turn of 10 minutes duration while exploration and mapping
are in progress. If the party is following o known route or map, the
movement rate is 5 times greater, so each move takes 1/5 of a turn (2
rounds). If the party is fleeing, all movement — excluding encumbered
movement, is 10 times faster, so eoch move takes only 1 /1 0 of a turn, or 1
round. This some movement rate applies to combat situations, so by
converting each 1" movement rate to I0\ and then laking l/)0 of the
round (using segments), the distance a character or monster can travel
during the course of combat is easily found:

Distance Traveled In Oris

60'

90'

150'

mat

*C j-i m ant { f+ lA^Anni^

12'
15'
IB'

If moving but 12' in 6 seconds seems slow, consider the conditions —
whether prolonged physical exertion or the threat of hostile counter to the
movement.

Movement Outdoors: The major difference in outdoor movement is
distance and time. Each 1" equals the number of miles a character or
creature can travel in one-half day's trekking. Terrain will vary the
movement rate. When on encounter occurs, the movement rote is handled
in the same manner os combat movement in the dungeon.

Movement In Cities: When your party is in an inhabited area, movement
turns are at the same rote as when combat in the dungeon takes place, i.e.
6" = 60' and each move is 1 minute long. This assumes that no mop is
being mode. Mapping takes 10 times as long, so movement when
mapping is the same as in a dungeon.

Note: No mapping is possible when a party is moving at fast speed such as
when pursued or pursuing. Light musl be available lo make or read o map;
infra vision is not suitable in such circumstances, Marks, dropped objects, or
a trolling string or line are typically useless devices in dungeons, as they
will be obi iterated, moved, or destroyed by passing creatures.

LIGHT

Infravision, the ability to see radiation in the infra-red spectrum, is an
ability possessed by most of the creatures dwelling below ground ond
nocturnal animals. Some characters have this ability due to race or by
magical means. However, os many characters can only see in light which
is normal to the human visual spectrum, and mapping requires light also,
some form of fight generating device is necessary for activities in
dungeons or at night. The table below gives the properties of the usual
light sources:

•Illumination is from burning 1 pot (pint) of fine oil
"Illumination is V wide only ond can be masked by shutter.

INFRA VISION

As previously meniioned, infravision is the ability to see into the Infrared
spectrum. Thus heat radiation becomes visible ond differences In
temperature allow infrared sight. Warm things are bright, cool things grey,
very cold things are black Most infravision extends to 60' distance.
Dungeon-dwelling monsters have infravision to 120'. All infravision is
spoiled if a light source is shedding illumination upon the creature
possessing the infrared sight capability, Similarly, great heat will spoil the
capability.

Thieves hiding in shadows are successful with respect to infravision only if
there is a heat/light source nearby to mask their body heat, or a very cold
object or radiation to provide similar cover,

ULTRA VISION

Ultravision is the ability to see rodiotion in the ultraviolet spectrum —
gamma rays, x-rays, etc, Creatures with this ability con see in normal
nighttime darkness; thot is, they see at night as well as a human can see at
dusk because of the continual bombardment of ultraviolet radiation upon
the earth.

SILENT MOVEMENT

Characters typically make a certain amount of noise, and thus alert
opponents of their presence. Bui thieves, as well as characters able to
move quietly because of a magical device such as boors of elvenkind have
a chance to be absolutely silent when moving. This chance lo be
absolutely silent is given os o percentage. +/- modifiers, and the
character must roll percentile dice lo score less than or equal to the
percentage chance he or she has to move without sound. Success indicates
silent movement and an improved chance to surprise an opponent or slip
past it.

INVISIBLE MOVEMENT

By various magical means it is possible to became invisible and move
about. Invisibility bestowed by o cloak of elvenkind extends to what it
covens. A ring or spell of invisibility offers superior Invisibility. Note thai
none mosk light, so ihe invisible charocter cannot move about with a lighl
source and be unseen, for the light will be noticed even though its bearer
not

Surprise is simply the unexpected, unprepared for Characters can be
surprised j ust as creaiures they encounter con, Noise ond light can negate
chances for surprise with respect to characters or creatures they encounter.
Surprise is usually expressed as a 2 in 6 chance for all parties concerned,
i.e. a six-sided die is rolled with a 1 or 2 indicating surprise Some monsters
are more copable of surprising foes than the normal 2 in 6 probability, ond
some cannot be surprised os easily, so ihey have a reduced probability —
1 in 6, 1 in 8, etc. Each 1 of surprise equals 1 segment (six seconds) of time

102

SURPRISE

TRAPS, TRICKS, AND ENCOUNTERS

lost to the surprised party, and during ihe lost lime the surprising party con
freely act to escape or attack or whatever. If both parties ore surprised,
then rhe effect is negated or reduced:

3 (4-1 ,5-2, etc.) 3

Assume the party of characters, moving silently ond invisibly, comes upon
a monster. They have 4 of 6 chances to surprise, and the monster has 2 in 6.
A six-sided die is rolled for the party, another for the monster. Both sides
could be surprised, neither could be surprised, or either could be surprised.
This is shown on the table below:

Noise or light can negate the chance of surprising a monster. Similarly, if
the party is oware of a monster, the party cannot be surprised by it unless it
is also awore of them — in the latter case, it might be able to hide and
ambush the party.

If surprise exists, the surprising parly can use the time segments to
flee/escope, dose, or attack. Distance of 10' or less can usually be closed
and an attack made in 1 segment- Physical attacks during surprise
situations ore also possible on a 1 per segment basis, whether the form is
by weapon, projectile, or method intrinsic to the creature (claws, fangs,
etc.), even a breoth weapon use; magic spells require the proper number
of segments of casting time, regardless of surprise.
